在本文中，我们调查了通过制度变革实现公平的交叉方法所带来的机遇和挑战，特别关注美国学术科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 女性所面临的持续滞后。我们在本文中的具体目标有两个：(1) 为当前的理论模型和研究做出贡献，以帮助 URM 女性参与学术 STEM 领域；(2) 推动当前关于如何应用交叉方法来塑造机构转型的更广泛的讨论。为了做到这一点，我们首先探讨历史和特定背景的问题，这些问题说明了 URM 女教师在 STEM 领域相对缺乏进展，至少部分是由无法充分解决具有多重从属身份的人的经历的制度结构造成的。然后，我们利用当前有关交叉性和组织变革的文献来理论化交叉方法可能特别有助于形成更成功的制度干预的四种方式。通过提供机构转型的交叉方法所带来的一些可能性，我们提出了一些有用的起点，以动员交叉性，从结构上支持 URM 女性在 STEM 领域的进步和成功。
In this paper we investigate the opportunities and challenges that emerge from an intersectional approach to achieving equity through institutional change, focusing particularly on the persistent lag faced by underrepresented minority (URM) women in U.S. academic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Our specific goals in this paper are twofold: (1) to contribute to current theoretical models and research on enabling URM women in academic STEM fields, and (2) to advance broader current discussions concerning how intersectional approaches might be applied to shape institutional transformation. In order to do this, we first explore the historical and contextspecific issues that illustrate how the relative lack of progress made by URM women faculty in STEM is at least partially driven by institutional structures that cannot fully address the experiences of persons with multiple subordinated identities. We then employ current literature on intersectionality and organizational change to theorize four ways that intersectional approaches might specifically help shape more successful institutional interventions. By offering some possibilities presented by an intersectional approach to institutional transformation, we suggest helpful starting points for mobilizing intersectionality in the service of structurally supporting the advancement and success of URM women in STEM.
