...Julianne A. Wenner; Megan Frary; Paul J. Simmonds Purpose Historically, graduate education’s goal was to prepare academics; now most science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics (STEM) graduate students (GSs) go on to nonacademic careers. STEM GSs must be equipped for success regardless...

... work has illuminated how race and gender produce inequities and shape student experiences in doctoral science programs (Griffin et al., 2020 ; Maher et al., 2019). Graduate program cultures in the STEM fields tend to support masculine norms (Bostwick and Weinberg, 2018 ; Sallee...
