研究有色人种妇女在以科学为基础的领域中的身份认同过程有助于我们(A)找到支持相似妇女的方法，(B)研究科学内外的不平等动态。这项研究的参与者(一名黑人女性、一名拉丁裔女性和一名美国印第安人女性)在高中成绩不佳的情况下幸存下来，并阻碍了大学理工系获得正式认可(奖学金、出版物)。利用包括交叉性在内的多种族女权主义理论和实践理论，我们将身份创作概念化为一个持续的过程。定性方法是围绕关心和个人责任、利用具体经验和对话的黑人女权主义戒律而设计的(Collins，2000a)。参与者创作合法科学身份的机会受到他们在压迫矩阵中的位置的限制。他们报告说，她们作为有色人种女性和可信的理科学生的身份与她们被归因于种族主义和性别歧视的身份之间存在冲突。所有人都变得更善于抵御负面归因，所有人都找到了身份冲突较少的环境；他们阅读情况并迅速调整的能力，帮助他们生存下来。但他们需要这样做的事实是不公正的。
The study of the identity processes of women of color in science-based fields helps us (a) find ways to support similar women, and (b) study the dynamics of inequity, within and beyond science. Participants in this study (a Black woman, a Latina, and an American Indian woman) survived inadequate high schools and discouraging college science departments to win formal recognition (fellowships, publications). Using multiracial feminist theory, including intersectionality, and practice theory, we conceptualize authoring of identity as an ongoing process. Qualitative methods were designed around Black feminist precepts of caring and personal accountability, the use of concrete experience and of dialogue (Collins, 2000a). Participants' opportunities to author legitimate science identities were constrained by their location in the matrix of oppression. They reported conflicts between their identities as women of color and as credible science students, and having racist, sexist identities ascribed to them. All became more adept at fending off negative ascription and all found settings with less identity conflict; their ability to read a situation and quickly adjust, la facultad (Anzaldua, 1999) helped them survive. But the fact that they have needed to do this is unjust.
