Session Type: Symposium
Despite decades of reform, persistent equity gaps in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) continue to marginalize girls and women, particularly those from racially minoritized backgrounds. This symposium features five authors from the forthcoming 2026 Handbook on Gender and STEM, who have extensive experience examining the social, motivational, and developmental processes that shape gendered participation in STEM. Presentations will highlight research on competence-related beliefs, value beliefs, stereotype internalization, and gendered motivational patterns in educational and career choices. By previewing these chapters, the session aims to foster critical dialogue among scholars committed to advancing equity in STEM education. Presenters will share brief overviews of their chapters followed by an interactive discussion on future directions for theory, research, and practice.
