Women in Natural Sciences: A Longitudinal Comparative Case Study of Black Women in STEMM (1995-2015)
Justice-oriented Youth Education Lab
In partnership with the Academy of Natural Sciences, this comparative longitudinal study examines the life outcomes and narratives among 20 years of participants and non-participants in Women in Natural Sciences (WINS) cohorts (1995-2015). Life outcomes and narratives from 9th grade into adulthood from intervention and control groups are studied via mixed quantitative and qualitative methods and analyses grounded by a Critical Race Theoretical framing. We compare outcomes and trajectories between the control and study groups and draw associations between alumnae’s long-term outcomes and how they correlate their WINS experiences with other socio-cultural factors in their lives. We aim to re-position extant literature by focusing on evidence from Black women’s voices and lived experiences in STEMM.
