This is what a scientist looks like: Increasing Hispanic/Latina women’s identification with STEM using relatable role models.

Abstract: Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related careers are an underrepresented population due to the stigma and sexism they often face. Hispanic and Latina women are further underrepresented in STEM and experience "double jeopardy" due to sexism and racism. Due to factors such as these, women, and especially women of color, are often pushed out of their academic and career paths in STEM fields, further exacerbating what has been termed the "leaky pipeline" phenomenon. The present stu… Show more

“…We now turn our attention to the signi cant impact of non-hierarchical mentoring on students' experiences in an authentic STEM program. Research underscores the pivotal role of role models in fostering interest and positive attitudes toward STEM careers, particularly among student populations who have been historically marginalized (Crane et al, 2022). This study sheds light on the experiences of high school students, all of whom belong to underrepresented groups, in their interactions with STEM role models.…”

“…Both gender differences, as well as differences within gender, are linked to different beliefs regarding elements of EVT, including ability self-concepts and elements of STV, which can then play out in STEM-related occupational choices (e.g., Eccles & Wang, 2016; Kimmel et al, 2012). The joint forces of both sexism and racism threaten the degree to which Latina students identify with STEM (Crane et al, 2022). Second, lower SES is widely believed to be detrimental to overall student success as it relates to access to and utilization of resources.…”

“…Previous work has shined lights into effective approaches for teaching complex topics to underrepresented students 3,4 . For Latinx students, for example, the most significant increase in conceptual understanding is observed when the projects are both collaborative and based on culturally and socially-relevant topics [3][4][5][6] , and when state of the art methods are used 4 . However, the implementation of this type of projects in the classroom is limited by high costs required to perform complex and novel experiments 3,[7][8][9] .…”
