{"product_id":"women-of-color-in-stem-julia-ballenger-9781681237060","title":"Women of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce","description":"\u003cp\u003eA volume in Research on Women and Education\u003cbr\u003e Women of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce is an opportunity for making public the life stories\u003cbr\u003e of women of color who have persevered in STEM workplace settings. The authors used various critical theories to situate and make\u003cbr\u003e visible the lives of women of color in such disciplines and workplace contexts like mathematics, science, engineering, NASA, \u003cbr\u003e academia, government agencies, and others. They skillfully centered women and their experiences at the intersection of their\u003cbr\u003e identity dimensions of race, class, gender, and their respective discipline.\u003cbr\u003e While the disciplines and career contexts vary, the oppression, alienation, and social inequities were common realities for all.\u003cbr\u003e Despite the challenges, the women were resilient and persevered with tenacity, a strong sense of self as a person of color, and\u003cbr\u003e reliance on family, community, mentors, and spirituality. While we celebrated the successes, it is critical that organizational leaders, \u003cbr\u003e whether in education or other workplace settings, draw from narratives and counter‐narratives of these women to improve the\u003cbr\u003e organizational climate where individuals can thrive, despite their racial, class and gender identity. This book will assist educational\u003cbr\u003e communities, professional communities, and families to understand their roles and\u003cbr\u003e responsibilities in increasing the number of women of color in STEM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Ballenger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681237067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681237060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Age Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julia Ballenger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988965294335,"sku":"9781681237060","price":55.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58f53097-972c-496d-96b9-8f5663750d75.jpg?v=1683297201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-of-color-in-stem-julia-ballenger-9781681237060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
