African African women are underrepresented in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This work takes an intersectional perspective to understand African American teens' experiences with technology as a means of better understanding how to address this leak in the STEM pipeline.
The paper, now available in Sex Roles, is the results of a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project that surveyed more than 1,000 African American teens and their parents to better understand how African American boys and girls interact with technology.
