Rethinking Racialized Language: Decolonizing the Term “Whitepaper
Background: The term “whitepaper” is used by a range of professionals to describe material made available through non-traditional publishing. Using critical race theory, we investigated whether continued usage is racially insensitive and can be perceived as a microaggression by Indigenous and racialized peoples. Analysis: A focus group gathered participants’ personal and professional views on the term, related issues of colonization and racialize…

Outperformance-Related Discomfort: Another Factor in Women’s Under-Representation in STEM
Exploration of students’ career drivers and goals by grade level and gender in Atlantic Canada
Limited research has been conducted exploring students’ motives for choosing certain career pathways, aspirations and goals in Atlantic Canada. This study examines data from a province-wide survey of students in grades 7, 9 and 12 to better understand gender and grade differences as students start to develop ideas career goals and their futures. Our results indicate that female students are more likely influenced by family members and teachers, a…
Math Self-efficacy and the Likelihood of Pursuing a STEM-Based Career: A Gender-Based Analysis
Department Culture in Canadian Sciences & Engineering: An Empirical Test of the Culture Conducive to Women’s Academic Success Model
We tested four proposed dimensions of a Culture Conducive to Women's Academic Success (CCWAS; i.e., supportive leadership, freedom from gender bias, equal access to opportunities, and support for work-life balance) on a sample of women faculty from Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering (NSE) departments/units. The results of our serial and parallel mediation analysis confirmed the CCWAS dimensions, and further indicated that a positive NSE de…
Knitting Theory in STEM Performance Stories: Experiences in Developing a Performance Framework
Gender equality has made its way to the forefront of discussions across various sectors in the Canadian context. Yet the intentional inclusion of gender and other intersectional identity dimensions is just beginning to permeate the realities of performance measurement and evaluation practitioners, particularly those using program theory. There is a vast body of knowledge regarding the measurement of women’s empowerment, gradually declining availa…

A mixed-feeding Equus species from the middle pleistocene of South Africa
The dietary regime of Equus capensis from the Middle Pleistocene of South Africa is investigated by mesowear analysis. Results indicate that the mesowear signature of this species resembles that of two extant mixed feeders, the Grant's Gazelle ( Gazella granti ) and the Thomson's Gazelle ( Gazella thomsoni ), suggesting a mixed feeding dietary strategy for E. capensis . The mesowear signature of a contemporaneous population of Equus mosbachensis …
