  • The importance of clinician courtroom testimony for children exposed to domestic violence

    Open AccessEllen Puccia, Aurora Smaldone et al.ARTICLEChild & Family Social Work2023References: 2

    Children exposed to domestic violence account for as many as a third of all children in the United States. Many of these children will seek mental health treatment for symptoms of trauma. The clinicians who provide their treatment are often called as witnesses in family law proceedings, especially child protection and custody cases. Clinicians are often anxious when they receive subpoenas to testify and prefer to avoid testimony. Training about c…

  • Que(e)rying How Professional STEM Societies’ Serve Queer and Trans Engineering and Science Undergraduates

    Rebecca Campbell-Montalvo, Helen Cooke et al.ARTICLEEducational Studies2023Cited by: 1References: 39

    The STEM climate is overall less welcoming for queer students, and is especially harrowing for transgender, nonbinary, and students with additional gender non-conforming identities (TNBGNC+). Professional STEM societies provide students with a range of resources that help them persist in STEM, though qualitative research shows that such societies geared toward queer and trans students may offer less professional and academic resources and priorit…

  • The Influence of Professional Engineering Organizations on Women and Underrepresented Minority Students’ Fit

    Open AccessRebecca Campbell-Montalvo, Gladis Kersaint et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    Our work focuses on women and underrepresented minority (URM) students’ cultural models of engineering success (CMES) or beliefs about doing well in engineering. Because of its consequential effect on persistence, we pay special attention to the fit domain of CMES—student feelings of belonging in their engineering program. We examine 1) how student fit is affected by participatory social capital (i.e., participation in professional engineering or…

  • “Now I’m Not Afraid”

    Open AccessRebecca Campbell-Montalvo, Helen Cooke et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    In comparison to work on women and historically excluded racial/ethnic minority students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), research on sexual and gender minority (SGM) students in STEM is somewhat incipient. There is little scholarship available on SGM-focused STEM organizations (e.g., oSTEM). Building on the previous literature, we examine how SGM-focused STEM organizations provide social capital, both expressive (e.g., emoti…

  • How stereotypes and relationships influence women and underrepresented minority students' fit in engineering

    Open AccessRebecca Campbell-Montalvo, Gladis Kersaint et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Science…2022

    Women and underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates declare and complete science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors at different rates in comparison to majority groups. Explanations of these differences have long been deficit oriented, focusing on aptitude or similar characteristics, but more recent work focuses on institutional contexts, such as academic climate and feelings of belonging (fit). This study examines the experien…

  • Social Capital From Professional Engineering Organizations and the Persistence of Women and Underrepresented Minority Undergraduates

    Open AccessChrystal A S Smith, Hesborn Wao et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2021Cited by: 3References: 8

    Professional engineering organizations (PEOs) have the potential to provide women and underrepresented and minoritized (URM) students with social capital (i.e., resources gained from relationships) that aids their persistence in their engineering undergraduate programs and into the workforce. We hypothesize that women and URM students engineering students who participate in PEOs are more likely to persist in their engineering major and that PEOs …

  • Pursuing an engineering major

    J Skvoretz, Gladis Kersaint et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2020Cited by: 1References: 13

    As part of a longitudinal research effort that examines the influence of social capital on differential persistence and retention among undergraduate engineering majors, this study examines how engineering degree-related social capital differs for first-year engineering students by gender and ethno-racial groups. Social capital is operationalized as a person’s network of relationships with individuals who hold influential positions (e.g. parent, …
