有色人种在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的代表性不足已成为一个重要的危机。当我们研究种族和性别的参与，并探讨这两个主要的身份维度如何在STEM领域边缘化有色人种女性时，危机更加明显。这种不同的代表性始于早年，并在高等教育机构和工作场所继续存在。解决方案为了解决STEM中有色人种女性的缺失问题，重要的是要了解阻碍和支持她们职业发展的力量，从幼儿经历开始，贯穿整个教育和工作环境。促进多样性、公平和包容的干预措施必须从早期和中等教育开始，并通过学术界和工作场所继续下去。解决这一危机是公共和高等教育以及工商业领导人的责任。
The Problem The underrepresentation of people of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has become a crisis of significant proportion. The crisis is more pronounced when we examine participation by race and gender and explore how these two primary identity dimensions serve to marginalize women of color in STEM fields. These differential representations start during the early years and continue within institutions of higher education and the workplace. The Solution To address the absence of women of color in STEM, it is important to understand the forces that hinder and support their career development, beginning with early childhood experiences and throughout education and work environments. Interventions promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion must start in early and secondary education and continue through academia and the workplace. Stakeholders Addressing this crisis is the responsibility of leaders of public and higher education and those of business and industry.
