Professor Barnes Explores Systematic Inequities in STEMM

Associate Professor Rebecca Barnes co-authored a perspectives piece in Nature Geoscience highlighting the systems of oppression inherent within STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) for historically excluded groups. The article, "Scientists from historically excluded groups face a hostile obstacle course," reframes the discussion of diversity in STEM from one that is passive (i.e., a "leaky pipeline") to that of a hostile obstacle course, exploring the causes and consequences of underrepresented scholars.
