Women of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce is an opportunity
for making public the life stories of women of color who have
persevered in STEM workplace settings. The authors used various
critical theories to situate and make visible the lives of women of
color in such disciplines and workplace contexts like mathematics,
science, engineering, NASA, academia, government agencies, and
others. They skillfully centered women and their experiences at the
intersection of their identity dimensions of race, class, gender,
and their respective discipline. While the disciplines and career
contexts vary, the oppression, alienation, and social inequities
were common realities for all. Despite the challenges, the women
were resilient and persevered with tenacity, a strong sense of self
as a person of color, and reliance on family, community, mentors,
and spirituality. While we celebrated the successes, it is critical
that organizational leaders, whether in education or other
workplace settings, draw from narratives and counter?narratives of
these women to improve the organizational climate where individuals
can thrive, despite their racial, class and gender identity. This
book will assist educational communities, professional communities,
and families to understand their roles and responsibilities in
increasing the number of women of color in STEM.
