  • STEM Degrees and Military Service: An Intersectional Analysis

    Open AccessSela Harcey, Christina R Steidl et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2022References: 52

    Given that the U.S. military uses science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) exposure as a key recruitment tool, one should expect that military service is associated with STEM outcomes. While research demonstrates this pattern for women veterans, we know little about racialized and intersectional patterns. This article uses the American Community Survey data (2014–2018) to examine the association between military service, race/ethnicity, …

  • Short Take: Collecting Data from a Vulnerable Population during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessSela R Harcey, Sela Harcey et al.ARTICLECAM2022Cited by: 1References: 21

    Conducting field research with a vulnerable population is difficult under the most auspicious conditions, and these difficulties only increase during a pandemic. Here, we describe the practical challenges and ethical considerations surrounding a recent data collection effort with a high-risk population during the COVID-19 pandemic. We detail our strategies related to research design, site selection, and ethical review

  • Mutual Influence? Gender, Partner Pregnancy Desires, Fertility Intentions, and Birth Outcomes in U.S. Heterosexual Couples

    Open AccessColleen M Ray, Sela Harcey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2020

    Competing hypotheses exist with regard to how men’s and women’s pregnancy desires and intentions are associated with births among contemporary heterosexual couples. There are compelling cultural and structural reasons to support either the hypothesis that men’s desires and intentions (patriarchal) or that women’s desires and intentions (matriarchal) will have more influence, or that both partner’s desires and intentions will be associated with bi…

  • Soldiers to Scientists: Military Service, Gender, and STEM Degree Earning

    Open AccessChristina Steidl, Regina Werum et al.ARTICLESocius Sociological Research for…2020Cited by: 3References: 41

    The authors use 2014-2018 data from the American Community Survey to answer two questions: To what extent is military service associated with higher rates of earning a bachelor's degree in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field (vs. a non-STEM field)? To what extent is this relationship gendered? The findings suggest that military service is associated with higher odds of completing a STEM degree and that this associatio…

  • Stability and change in personal fertility ideals among U.S. women in heterosexual relationships

    Open AccessColleen M Ray, Colleen Ray et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2018Cited by: 7References: 53

    BACKGROUND: Demographers typically ask about societal, not personal, fertility ideals. Societal ideals are probably more stable than personal ideals. Assessing whether personal fertility ideals are as stable as societal ideals could inform models of population fertility change and models of well-being associated with fertility outcomes. METHODS: We use the two-wave National Survey of Fertility Barriers (NSFB) to model stability and change in fert…

  • Gender Segregation in Work

    Open AccessSela Harcey, Anastasia H Prokos et al.CHAPTERWiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2017

    Gender segregation in work (sometimes discussed as sex segregation in work) has been studied from a variety of foci. Foci include micro, meso, and macro levels. All of these levels have different components that perpetuate gender segregation in work. Many influential works expanded during the second‐wave feminist movement to provide researchers the foundation for understanding gender segregation in work currently and for the future.
