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>Conclusion: Unique but Transferable Approaches for Pursuing Gender Equity in STEM in Higher Education across the World2022-01-14T16:32:08-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877567/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877567/"><img alt="Conclusion: Unique but Transferable Approaches for Pursuing Gender Equity in STEM in Higher Education across the World" title="Conclusion: Unique but Transferable Approaches for Pursuing Gender Equity in STEM in Higher Education across the World" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1877567/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>In this chapter, the authors offer suggestions for how policymakers and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educators may apply unique but potentially transferrable strategies.

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>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 authors analyze two large-scale national data sets, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the American Community Survey (ACS), to conduct a location-level analysis. The authors then offer implications that target women of color who live in places that lack opportunities in higher education.</p>Open Access Initiatives in Ethiopia's Higher Learning Institutions2023-08-02T22:54:03-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143872/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143872/"><img alt="Open Access Initiatives in Ethiopia's Higher Learning Institutions" title="Open Access Initiatives in Ethiopia's Higher Learning Institutions" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143872/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Book chapter outlining the state of OA policies and practices in Ethiopia's higher learning institutions.</p>Preface [of the Handbook of Research on the Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications]2023-08-02T22:54:06-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143873/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143873/"><img alt="Preface [of the Handbook of Research on the Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications]" title="Preface [of the Handbook of Research on the Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications]" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2143873/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Preface of the Handbook of Research on the Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications.
