Intellectual Merit: This symposium will convene researchers in education and the social sciences with practicing STEM professionals to review, explore, and respond to research on identity factors linked to minority male success in science and mathematics. The following topics will be addressed: (1) the impact of minority male gender identity on interest and engagement in science and mathematics, with particular interest in how conceptions of manhood and masculinity are relevant; (2) gender role socialization and implications for teaching and learning of science and mathematics content for minority men and boys; (3) institutional and organizational models and programs (e.g., school design, same-sex classroom) and pathways that influence minority men and boys' interest and entry into science and math majors and careers; and (4) shared interests and goals (e.g., evidence-based initiatives), and collaboration opportunities for researchers and STEM practitioners.Broader Impacts: This symposium will serve as a catalyst for focusing on and developing a knowledge base around the educational opportunities and challenges of many minority men and boys. Manuscripts from the symposium will be distributed in a special issue of a major journal focusing on minority men and boys in math and science, as well as through an edited book with national distribution. The symposium will be a significant forum to inspire collaborations and networks among similarly interested researchers and STEM practitioners to potentially development future NSF research grant proposals.

智力优势：本次研讨会将召集教育和社会科学研究人员与实践STEM专业人员一起审查，探索和应对与少数民族男性在科学和数学方面取得成功有关的身份因素的研究。将讨论以下主题：（1）少数群体男性性别认同对科学和数学的兴趣和参与的影响，特别关注男子气概和男子气概的概念如何相关;（2）性别角色社会化及其对少数群体男性和男孩科学和数学内容教学的影响;（3）机构和组织模式和方案（例如，学校设计，同性教室）和影响少数民族男子和男孩的兴趣和进入科学和数学专业和职业的途径;以及（4）共同的兴趣和目标（例如，更广泛的影响：本次研讨会将作为一种催化剂，围绕许多少数群体男子和男孩的教育机会和挑战，重点关注和发展一个知识库。专题讨论会的发言稿将在一份主要杂志的特刊上分发，重点是少数民族男子和男孩的数学和科学，并通过一本编辑的书在全国发行。该研讨会将是一个重要的论坛，以激发类似感兴趣的研究人员和STEM从业者之间的合作和网络，以潜在地发展未来的NSF研究资助提案。
