As such, although organizations in the private, non-profit and educationsectors likely vary widely in their treatment of LGBT professionals, the differential experiencesof LGBT professionals in STEM agencies documented here may be equally if not more extremein other

Females mayseek more balance between career and family.The study also draws on Tobin et al3 Gender Self Socialization Model (GSSM) as anauxiliary framework to help explain gender role in the development of women’s valuebased hierarchy. The GSSM model links childhood gender cognition theories into atripartite classification of three constructs: (a) gender identity: children develop a self-identity as a boy or a girl at a young age; (b) gender stereotype: children’s beliefs aboutwhat boys and girls are expected to do are influenced by their desire to conform to thecollective gender stereotype; (c

Thosein favor of option “a” felt that it was important to highlight the difference between Michael’sprior life experiences and the level of privilege that such watches represent to him. At the sametime, we all agreed that the use of the word “flashy” served to set the anecdotes as immediatereactions captured in Michael’s natural voice apart from the other more formally written

Previous research has shown that participation in SI correlates with higher course grades,more confidence in course material, greater material retention, higher overall GPA, and greaterstudent retention and graduation rates. [1] Engaging students in SI, however, has been a persistentchallenge. For example, a previous study found only 40% of students enrolled in historicallydifficult classes (including general chemistry) took advantage of the SI provided. This studyfound participants in SI were more likely to have a final course grade of B or better and lesslikely to withdraw from the class. [2]Last year we
