Naphan, Dara Elizabeth – ProQuest LLC, 2016

Women are less likely to study engineering in college than men, and when they do, they are more likely to switch out to another major.

Gauchel, Steph – ProQuest LLC, 2017

Howard, Jimmy Lee, Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The United States' evolving federal regulations and laws are doing little to disrupt systemic sexual violence, and more narrowly, are doing very little to protect Black women (Dunn, 2014; Harris, 2017; Harris & Linder, 2017; Konradi, 2016; O'Toole et al., 2015; Yung, 2015). Further, Black women are underrepresented in college sexual assault…

Aston, Candice N. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
