The Borderlands of Education - Latinas in Engineering (Hardcover): Michelle Madsen Camacho, Susan M. Lord The Borderlands of Education - Latinas in Engineering (Hardcover)
Michelle Madsen Camacho, Susan M. Lord
R1,986 Discovery Miles 19 860 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This innovative work critically studies the contemporary problems of one segment of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education. The lack of a diverse U.S.-based pool of talent entering the field of engineering education has been termed a crisis by academic and political leaders. Engineering remains one of the most sex segregated academic arenas; the intersection of gendered and racialized exclusion results in very few Latina engineers. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship in gender and Latino/a Studies, the book provides an analytically incisive view of the experiences of Latina engineers. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation through a Gender in Science and Engineering grant, the authors bridge interdisciplinary perspectives to illuminate the nuanced and multiple exclusionary forces that shape the culture of engineering. A large, multi-institution, longitudinal dataset permits disaggregation by race and gender. The authors rely on primary and secondary sources and incorporate an integrated mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data.Together, this analysis of the voices of Latina engineering majors breaks new ground in the literature on STEM education and provides an exemplar for future research on subpopulations in these fields. This book is aimed at researchers who study underrepresented groups in engineering and are interested in broadening participation and ameliorating problems of exclusion. It will be attractive to scholars in the fields of multicultural and higher education, sociology and cultural anthropology, as well as cultural studies and feminist technology studies, and all researchers interested in the intersections of STEM, race and gender. This resource will be useful for policy-makers and educational leaders looking to revitalize and re-envision the culture within engineering.

Time: A future where ships can fold space and much of humanity has abandoned its depleted world. Two forces-- Government and Corporation- vie for control of what's left of the Earth, of known space, and of the universe beyond. Hyperbreed tm: Gene-spliced human-animal hybrid assets with no legal status, living, breathing slaves created and programmed to do their Corporate masters bidding. Government, in trying to limit Corporate power, has recently insisted "splices" be paid wages and has begun to debate a bill that would allow the Hyperbreed assets to buy their freedom. Corporate will do anything to stop it. Maks: A race of alien robot pirates that exists on the edge of explored space--terrifying monsters who wear the body parts of vanquished flesh-and-blood enemies as trophies. An attack on Earth is next on their agenda. Caught in the middle: Byrr, Fext and Cammo, three Hyperbreed assets who've run afoul of their Corporate masters. Thrown together on an ancient freighter, their mission is to transport valuable Explosive Ore to a distant mining colony. But their mission is far from what it seems and the battle for their futures and the future of Known Space is about to begin. In the vastness of space, small betrayals can have major consequences, playing the odds can change the course of history, and Luck isn't always what it seems.
