Cristina-Ioana Galusca; Anna Eve Helmlinger; Elodie Barat; Olivier Pascalis; Jean-Baptiste Van der Henst – Developmental Science, 2025
Children's social preferences are influenced by the relative status of other individuals, but also by their social identity and the degree to which those individuals are like them. Previous studies have investigated these aspects separately and showed that in some circumstances children prefer high-status individuals and own-gender individuals.…

Christine R. Starr; Campbell Leaper – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Nerd-genius stereotypes about people in the physical sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (pSTEM) are barriers to getting many adolescent girls interested in pSTEM. Endorsing these stereotypes may undermine youths' pSTEM identity especially when they are incongruent with their self-concepts--possibly more likely for girls than boys.…

Chelsie E. Dunn; Kristina B. Hood; Calvin J. Hall – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Background: Sexual protective behaviors, such as consistent condom use and intention, are important preventative measures against the transmission of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections. Current sexual health research has yet to explore the interaction between contextual factors, such as gendered racial microaggressions, and the role of…

Orla Slattery; Mark Prendergast; Máire Ní Riordáin – Irish Educational Studies, 2023
It is well established that female participation in STEM diminishes at all stages of the education pipeline. National policy in Ireland is focussed on initiatives to address the STEM gender gap from early years to the end of secondary school (age 18/19) education. However, strategy in higher education is limited, with gender equality policy…

Dywanna E. Smith – English Teaching: Practice and Critique, 2024
Purpose: This study aims to use an autoethnography and ethnopoetic approach, interweaving personal narratives with scholarly research, to illuminate the profound and far-reaching consequences of fat phobia. Through a multifaceted lens, the lived experiences of a fat, black woman subjected to fat shaming, discrimination and societal prejudice are…

Jhuremalani, Anha; Tadros, Eman; Goody, Adam – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
Gender stereotypes established early in childhood have a profound impact on a child's sense of self-definition: they commonly influence behaviours regarding academic pursuit and career aspirations. The aim of the current study was to investigate the emergence of explicit and implicit gender stereotypes in children aged 5-8 years. Fifty-four…

Sumpter, Lovisa – Education Inquiry, 2023
This paper aims to investigate the reasons some female mathematicians give to justify their choice to not work in academia after finishing their doctoral studies. Nine female mathematicians who finished a PhD in Sweden answered a written questionnaire. Through collective narrative analysis, two main tracks were identified. One narrative described…

Betser, Sagit; Ambrose, Rebecca; Martin, Lee – Equity & Excellence in Education, 2023
This ethnographic study examines a girls-only summer maker program designed to empower girls who learned to use power tools to build their own designs. Drawing from theories of identity construction within figured worlds, the article shows how girls in the program authored themselves into roles that run counter to patriarchal notions of making and…

Leshin, Rachel A.; Lei, Ryan F.; Byrne, Magnolia; Rhodes, Marjorie – Developmental Science, 2022
From early in development, race biases how children think about gender--often in a manner that treats Black women as less typical and representative of "women in general" than White or Asian women. The present study (N = 89, ages 7-11; predominately Hispanic, White, and multi-racial children) examined the generalizability of this…

Zahra Hazari; Idaykis Rodriguez – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
For students who face marginalization in a discipline, counterspaces are safe spaces of refuge that allow them to express their multiple identities and foster their sense of belonging. While prior qualitative work on counterspaces has highlighted how and why these spaces support marginalized students, there is little quantitative work that…

Purpose: The Women in Leadership Development (WLD) Initiative is a year-long, multifaceted co-curricular leadership development opportunity created to support the unique developmental needs of emerging women leaders. WLD was intentionally designed around the context of second-generation gender bias with a firm grounding of research and theory on…

Adam Masri; Tracey Ollis; Russell Tytler – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2025
The gender gap in physics in Australian secondary schools remains a significant issue. This study aims to address this problem by examining how physics teachers perceive girls' participation in physics, and how these perceptions influence their approach to gender issues and their potential impact on girls' physics identity. The study uses a…

Heidi Cian; Remy Dou – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
How individuals come to perceive themselves in STEM is predicated on their understanding of what it means to be a member of the STEM community. This association is consequential when considering the perpetuation of white male ownership of STEM knowledge and power that forces learners identifying with groups systemically marginalized by racial and…

Beyer, Victoria; Caron, Cynthia M. – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2022
Mushing exists in several forms: short and long-distance races, adventure tourism, recreation, and sport. While some scholars assert that gender does not influence a musher's experience, this research, based on interviews with mushers, broadens understanding of how gender influences mushing and a musher's sense of self. Nearly all research…

Like other workplaces, bullying occurs in academia. Additionally, women report more frequent and severe forms of bullying than men. The purpose of this qualitative study was to unearth women academics' learning because of being bullied. We discuss the learning context and explore the learning that occurred. Understanding these factors can augment…
