Transdisciplinary Queer Mixed Methods Research on Gender and Sexuality in STEM Fields

Date and time
Thursday, November 3, 2016 - 3:15pm to 5:15pm
Location
U-SU, 3rd Floor, San Gabriel Room
Description

Dr. Allison Mattheis (Charter College of Education at Cal State LA) presents her research complicating perceptions of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields as spaces in which personal identity is subsumed in the pursuit of a single-minded focus on objective scientific truths. In particular, Dr. Mattheis and her co-researchers seek to answer a question that is more than just “what do scientists think about being queer?” or “how many queer scientists are there?”
