Kansas State University BS Kansas State University Current position: Associate Professor, College of Education, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Understanding Female STEM Faculty Experiences of Subtle Gender Bias from Microaggressions PerspectiveABSTRACTResearch has repeatedly discussed the lack of women in many Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. It has been suggested that the “chilly climate” -feeling unwelcomed or discriminated- pushes women away from STEM fields. This leads tomany women leave STEM fields at multiple stages, thus creating the “leaking pipeline”phenomenon. The experiences of

Due to low representation at thesenior rungs of the academic hierarchy, women have limited access to senior-level administrativepositions (i.e. department chair, vice dean, and dean positions) and have fewer opportunities toguide policy and future planning activities (Brockopp, Isaacs, Bischoff, & Millerd, 2006).The Problem Statement and Research Questions Despite numerous barriers, some women have been successful in academic engineeringprograms, gaining tenure, and often progressing to leadership positions such as department chair,vice dean and dean positions.

Simply speaking,identity is not as singular as how an individual perceives themselves in isolation from otheraspects of their personality. Often individuals project different parts of their identity asdependent on the environment and context. In doing so individuals are continuously doing andundoing their identities to suit their needs in the moment.In Science and Math Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines have turned to identitytheories as a way to identify talented individuals in efforts to fuel recruitment and retention.
