  • Computing Education Interventions to Increase Gender Equity from 2000 to 2020

    Open AccessLara Perez-Felkner, Kristen Erichsen et al.ARTICLEReview of Educational Research2025

    Although gender parity has been achieved in some STEM fields, gender disparities persist in computing, one of the fastest-growing and highest-earning career fields. In this systematic literature review, we expand upon academic momentum theory to categorize computing interventions intended to make computing environments more inclusive to girls and women and consider how those characteristics vary by the success of the intervention. Particular atte…

  • Toward institutional transformation

    Open AccessKristen Erichsen, Emily Daina Šaras et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024

    Introduction Although the demand for graduates with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) credentials continues to climb, women remain underrepresented as both students and faculty in STEM higher education. Compounding social forces can hinder organizational change for gender equity in STEM, constraining institutions and individuals within them. This study advances macrostructural theory to examine the impact of gender composit…

  • Signifying Aggrieved White Selves

    Open AccessDouglas Schrock, G Bugg et al.ARTICLESociology of Race and Ethnicity2022

    Based on 29 in-depth interviews during the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we examine how Trump supporters engaged in a form of identity work that we call signifying aggrieved white selves. Taking an interactionist approach, we demonstrate how they used racial discourse and emotional communication to engage in three distinct forms of racial identity work: (1) othering racialized freeloaders, (2) criminalizing racialized others, and…

  • Valorizing Trump's Masculine Self

    Open AccessPierce Dignam, Douglas Schrock et al.ARTICLEMen and Masculinities2021Cited by: 5References: 70

    Presidential candidates' gendered self-presentations may help secure political support, but a 'gendered self' is a construct grounded in an audience's interpretation as much as it is in a politician's performance. The 2016 U.S. presidential election provides a unique opportunity to investigate how voters construct politicians as gendered. Based on pre-election interviews, we analyze how Trump supporters accounted for their allegiance by construct…

  • Bitchifying Hillary

    Open AccessKristen Erichsen, Douglas Schrock et al.ARTICLESocial Currents2020Cited by: 6References: 25

    Based on fieldwork and interviews during the run-up to the 2016 election, we examine how Trump supporters vilified Hillary Clinton as a bitch. We first analyze how Trump rally attendees collaborated to bitchify Clinton (e.g., through displays, chants, speaker–audience exchanges) in ways that fostered emotional bonding, a politically incorrect situational definition, and shared identities as Trump supporters. We then examine how interviewees const…
