Mia Ong, Experiences of Intersectionality for Women of Color in STEM

"Experiences of Intersectionality for Women of Color in STEM: Individual and Institutional Strategies for Persistence and Success" Maria (Mia) Ong, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist and Evaluator, Technical Education Research Centers, Inc. (TERC) Women of color in the United States—women who are African American, Asian American, Latina, Native American, and mixed race/ethnicity—have long been considered valuable sources of talent to fill US workforce needs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, they are an understudied group, and they are severely underrepresented in most STEM disciplines in America. Dr. Ong will discuss her research on intersectionality for women of color, identifying common sources of isolation and microaggressions that contribute to their underrepresentation. She will also describe individual and institutional strategies to increase their participation, retention, and advancement in STEM higher education and careers. https://www.brown.edu/academics/race-...
