Exploring How STEM Graduate Students Conceptualize Levers of Change and Solutions to Enhance Departmental Racial Climate
The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how STEM graduate students conceptualized problems that undergird a negative departmental racial climate and explore which policies and practices these students recognized as potential levers for change. Using a generic qualitative inquiry (GQI) approach, we conducted eight focus group meetings and one interview with graduate STEM students (n = 34) at two predominantly white institutions in …
Navigating Campus Racial Climates
This phenomenological study examines how Latino men at 4-year institutions navigate racial microaggressions and hostile campus climates. Findings reveal that students experience exclusion from peers and institutional agents, impacting their academic and emotional well-being. Identity-based student organizations emerged as critical counter-spaces, fostering cultural affirmation, mentorship, and resilience. These findings underscore the need for in…
Institutional barriers to computing identity development in introductory artificial intelligence courses at a Hispanic-serving community college
If You’re Latino, You’re Not Really Expected to Go to College
Latino men continue to experience lower college completion rates compared to other demographic groups, highlighting the need to better understand factors contributing to their success. Grounded in Gloria and Rodriguez’s psychosociocultural theoretical framework, this phenomenological study highlights how Latino men experience and cultivate resilience during their higher education journey. Through 68 semi-structured interviews with 34 Latino men w…
Understanding Computing Identity for Latina Students at a Hispanic-Serving Community College
Entrenched in whiteness and toxic masculinity, the computing field makes it difficult for Latina students to see themselves in computing careers. This phenomenological study explored computing identity development for Latina students at a Hispanic-serving community college (HSCC). Latina students emphasized the importance of leveraging competence and various forms of community cultural wealth to shape computing identities. They also articulated h…
Exploring computing identity development for Latinx students at a Hispanic-serving community college
Nepantla aquí, Nepantla allá
The study explored how Mexican-origin women in STEM utilized Anzaldua’s borderlands of identity and Conocimientos to successfully navigate between Mexican-origin cultures and STEM cultures. Students experienced life-changing events during their studies (el arrebato) and felt torn between STEM and Mexican-origin cultures ( Nepantla). However, students also sought to reimagine their futures ( Coyolxuahqui, the blow-up) and use their degrees to help…
The influence of policy implementation in the Midwest
This qualitative research study describes how a Midwest community college’s implementation of an Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (SSTEM) program influences engineering identity development for its students with financial need. Using a phenomenological approach, the study finds that the program enables community college students to have greater financial freedom and an ability to focus on engineering identity. In …
How STEM lab settings influence graduate school socialization and climate for students of color
Critiquing Oppression and Desiring Social Justice
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how 17 undergraduate Latina students in STEM engaged in behaviors of resistance during college. This qualitative approach allowed us to explore individuals’ lived experiences and examine hidden meanings to understand the essence of resistance to educational STEM inequities. Drawing on concepts of transformational resistance and intersectionality, this article highlights how undergraduate L…

The Making of ‘Ideal’ Electrical and Computer Engineers
This article uses document analysis to explore departmental messaging about electrical and computer engineering identity development for undergraduate students at an American research university in the Midwest. We found that these texts collectively produce an image of the ‘ideal’ electrical and computer engineer. This image depicts ‘ideal’ electrical and computer engineers as performing technical competence, being recognized for high-quality per…
Latinx Students Charting Their Own STEM Pathways
Addressing Latinx student underrepresentation in STEM requires an assets-based reimagining of STEM experiences and pathways that facilitate student success. Drawing on data from two qualitative studies of Latinx students pursuing STEM majors, findings reveal that Latinx students draw on at least six distinct forms of cultural assets to facilitate their, and at times their peers’, persistence in STEM. Latinx students then utilize these cultural as…
Coping With College Obstacles
This qualitative study examined how first-generation Mexican American college students sought support from their families to cope with challenges. Some students had very close relationships with their family members and allowed them to be an integral part of their coping processes. However, others separated family from the coping or built chosen “families” from college peers and mentors to help them cope. In most instances, students simultaneousl…
Exploring How Gay Latinx Men Cope in College Using Emotion Regulation
This narrative study used individual interviews with seven gay Latinx men to understand how they used emotion regulation to navigate academic and personal obstacles as well as heterosexism and interpreted them using Gross’s emotion regulation framework. The study’s participants used all four types of emotion regulation described by Gross, including finding gay-affirming communities, modifying gay-adverse spaces, changing the subject, and positive…
The influence of familismo on Latina student STEM identity development
This phenomenological research study explored how Latina college students developed their STEM identities, particularly focusing on the influence of familismo within the STEM identity development process. The study found that (1) interdependence and attachment from family members supported the STEM journey; (2) family members both in and outside of STEM influenced identity development; and (3) complications emerged from STEM identity, family, and…
Becoming La Ingeniera
Latina students are enrolling in postsecondary education in high numbers, yet their enrollment in engineering fields remains low. Part of the challenge Latina students face is a struggle to develop a strong professional identity as an engineer. Using a phenomenological approach, this study examined the experiences of undergraduate Latina engineering students. Researchers used a four-step process to understand the meaning-making process of identit…
Mujeres Supporting
The purpose of this multi-institutional qualitative study was to understand the educational pathways of Latino males by underscoring the unique role female family members play in their academic pursuits—through the voice of these young men. Findings demonstrate female family members were identified as being primary supporters of their educational pursuits, and actively leveraged different sources of cultural capital to help Latino males enroll an…
Sense of Belonging in Computing
This study examines an aspect of gender and racial/ethnic gaps in undergraduate computing by focusing on sense of belonging among women and underrepresented minority (URM) introductory computing students. We examine change in sense of belonging during the introductory course as well as the predictors of belonging, with attention to conditional effects by gender and URM status. Results show that sense of belonging outcomes are a product of both in…
STEM Identity Development for Latinas
This qualitative, phenomenological research study explored how 17 Latina undergraduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors developed their STEM identities. The study focused on the role that self- and outside recognition as a STEM individual played in the process. Interviews revealed students’ self-recognition in many forms. Outside recognition came primarily from STEM peers, faculty members, and family members. Self- a…
