The borderlands of education -- A culture of exclusion : race, gender, and engineering education -- Debunking the myths : trajectories of Latinas in engineering -- Voices of Latinas in engineering -- Crossing borders : opportunities and challenges
Summary
Why are there so few Latina engineers and what is the potential for change given demographic shifts of the Latino population? This interdisciplinary, mixed-methods approach offers a new paradigm for examining the crisis of Latinas in engineering (a field that remains 82% male), illuminating the nuanced and multiple exclusionary forces that shape the culture of engineering and its borderlands
