, individuals whoexcel at research are often respected above those who excel at teaching and/or service roles.There are also gender, race, and social class hierarchies (e.g., men over women, White overpeople of color, wealthy over poor) [3], [4]. Unfortunately, cultural issues like hierarchy are slowto change.Ahlam Lee did an extensive literature review of “hierarchical microaggression” in highereducation; among 187 articles about microaggressions and bullying, 115 were classified asexamples of hierarchical microaggressions (HM) [5]. Significantly, the work found that“individuals who hold inferior or lower-ranked positions in colleges or universities often arevictims of hierarchical microaggression; further, regardless of demographic characteristics

our collaborativeanalysis: (1) academic trajectory, (2) parental background, and (3) family support. Eachsubsection presents the results via an overview and a selection of interview quotes andfollows this up with a short interpretation from the authors. Following this thematicpresentation, we present two “back-stories,” in more detail, featuring notable experiencesof two participants.Academic trajectoryBefore enrolling in the chemical engineering or biotechnology degree program, nine ofthe eleven participants had completed a Technological Specialization Course (CET) atthe same institution where they now studied. In Portugal, a CET is a short-cycle highereducation program [21] that in this case led to a laboratory technician diploma; it was
