research interests include community cultural wealth, counterspaces, intersectionality, and institutional change.Dr. Coleen Carrigan, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Dr. Coleen Carrigan is an assistant professor of Anthropology and Science, Technology and Society (STS) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Using ethnography, she investigates the historical and cultural dimensions of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), with a particular emphasis on Computer Science and Engineering, and why these high-status fields appear impervious to desegregation. Dr. Carrigan shares the findings from her research to foster welcoming environments for underrepresented

While 3-D printers,laser cutters, and other computer aided design tools housed in a makerspace are not differentfrom that of the equipment one would find in a typical machine shop, the culture and interactionsunique to makerspaces transcend traditional stigmas. These spaces are established with the hopesof creating American producers, rather than consumers while simultaneously advancingdomestic innovation, entrepreneurship, manufacturing and STEM education [3].University makerspaces are designed and implemented with the implicit intention of creatingpathways to increase the quantity

Within our collective work, there are persistent challenges related to race andgender, where visible markers of representation in the disciplines are constant reminders of slowprogress and continuing challenges. There are also hidden (i.e., less- or non-apparent) identitiesthat are growing in attention and focus in scholarship and practice communities. New andimportant conversations that expand our concepts of diversity have emerged surrounding hiddenidentities such as LGBTQ, language
