Research related to achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) does not provide a clear understanding of the conditions that influence the experiences and performance of Black women. Studies make it difficult to tease out the forces shaping student aspirations and outcomes in STEM, which can lead to flawed explanations that do not take in account the influence of macro forces that can structure students' pathways to degree. This study addresses these concerns by identifying and exploring the opportunities—both past and present—that facilitate the achievement of Black women undergraduate students in STEM at 10 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

支持黑人女性在 STEM 领域的追求

与科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 成就相关的研究并没有提供对影响黑人女性经历和表现的条件的清晰理解。研究使得在 STEM 中很难梳理出影响学生抱负和成果的力量，这可能导致有缺陷的解释，没有考虑到宏观力量的影响，这些力量可以构建学生的学位途径。本研究通过识别和探索促进黑人女本科生在 10 所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 中取得 STEM 成绩的机会（包括过去和现在）来解决这些问题。
