The authors examine the difference in early educational achievement in mathematics and science subjects and students’ plan to study STEM subjects by gender. They also examine women’s odds of studying STEM subjects in England after controlling for academic performance and social class characteristics. The authors also particularly test gendered differences in studying STEM at prestigious Russell Group universities. Finally, the authors highlight factors that policy makers, researchers, instructors, and STEM workforce members should consider to close gender gaps in STEM undergraduate education.</p>STEM Bachelor's Degree Attainment among Women of Color in the United States: Using Geographic Analysis for Gender and Racial Equity Research2022-01-14T16:32:08-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877568/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877568/"><img alt="STEM Bachelor's Degree Attainment among Women of Color in the United States: Using Geographic Analysis for Gender and Racial Equity Research" title="STEM Bachelor's Degree Attainment among Women of Color in the United States: Using Geographic Analysis for Gender and Racial Equity Research" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877568/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This chapter showcases a study that examines the relationship between STEM bachelor’s degree attainment, particularly focusing on women of color, and the opportunities of higher education and STEM higher education within local communities across the United States.

The book provides an international overview of access and success for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) undergraduate programs. It focuses on women’s share of STEM graduates to explore trends and compare women’s enrollment in STEM to men’s enrollment in STEM and to higher education in general. The book focuses on the expansion of higher education in Taiwan as it relates to the improved participation of women in STEM tertiary education and in the STEM labor market. It focuses on the persistence of gender inequality in undergraduate engineering education in Germany by analyzing individual factors that contribute to women’s tendency to consider but then opt out of engineering. The book describes several challenges to gender-based equity in STEM in a post-Soviet context and offer multiple policy suggestions for improvement.</p>Characteristics of Tweets about African Cultural Heritage2018-04-19T06:14:09-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1128929/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1128929/"><img alt="Characteristics of Tweets about African Cultural Heritage" title="Characteristics of Tweets about African Cultural Heritage" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1128929/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This article investigates broad characteristics of tweets about African cultural heritage with possible implications for marketing by cultural heritage administrators and other stakeholders.</p>
