- 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 percent male), illuminating the nuanced and multiple exclusionary forces that shape the culture of engineering and its borderlands.
