slowlyincreased (Cunninghame et al., 2016), this group still remains largely underrepresented in STEMdisciplines (Moon et al., 2012). This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).

This environment influences a Blackstudent’s STEM identity because it houses the academic interactions Collins [10] defines as themicrocosms that develop a STEM identity. The external environment should also reinforce a Blackstudent’s gender-based racial identity. However, Collins [10] identifies how external environmentstraditionally threaten a Black student’s gender-based racial identity by perpetuating a chilly STEMclimate through stereotypes and gender biases.
