This article will analyze if the separation of race, sex, anddisability in this report is suppressing or erasing the negative implications for these marginalizedgroups in STEM.Introduction The purpose of this WIP research paper is to study the impact an intersectional analysis ofdisability, race/ethnicity, and sex has on the salary of Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) professionals. For almost a century, the United States has made political,academic, and professional pushes to fill a decreasing STEM workforce. Laws have been passedand programs put in place to increase the number of STEM professionals in all areas of industryin the U.S. [1]. In parallel

Education, 2023Intersectionality Between Race and Gender in LSAMP-NSF STEM Program MentorshipAbstractRace and gender disparities exist in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)fields, where their intersectionality promotes the greatest achievement gap. Minority students andfaculty are less represented in these fields. In engineering, especially, a hostile climate develops ifyou are a person with disabilities and/or non-cisgender and/or non-White man; and it is highlylikely that you will be part of a minority in the field. This can lead to stress, anxiety, and feelingsof isolation and hopelessness in a person’s academic and career pursuits. We researched if raceand gender affect the relationship

Conversation?IntroductionOver the course of the past decade, the academic community has increasingly recognized themental health challenges faced by graduate students as a pivotal area of concern (Evans, et al.,2018; Nature, 2019). This recognition is in response to findings that suggest graduate students,especially those in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines, are at ahigher risk for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress (Bork & Mondisa, 2022;Diezel, et al., 2013; Nagy, et al., (2019) Saravanan & Wilks, 2014). Findings from Bork andMondisa's (2022) recent scoping literature review attribute this heightened risk, in part, to theunique pressures and stressors inherent to the academic and research
of bias,increase a sense of agency, and ultimately empower students.1. IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations
