Mkhize, Zamambo – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields have historically been disciplines dominated by white men. The colonial ideology designated Africans as subhuman, inferior intellectually, socially, and culturally to the white masculine norm in STEM disciplines. STEM education and careers were thus constructed to attract white,…

Maji, Sucharita; Mitra, Sharmili; Asthana, Manish Kumar – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
The gender dimension of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has intrigued social scientists for a long time. Although in India, women's entry to STEM higher education has been improving over the last few decades, the reality of premier institutions remains broadly unaltered. The current qualitative research was an attempt: (a)…
