... of disadvantages that cannot be explained by simply adding together the effects of the individual components of their identity ( Crenshaw, 1990 ). For example, according to the framework of intersectionality, in many STEM disciplines where the societal norm expects that students are white men, the experience...

... have largely relied on deficit comparisons where a marginalized group is compared to a group in the majority (i.e., women compared to men, or People of Color compared to white people) ( Scherr, 2016 ; and Traxler et al., 2016 ). Recent suggestions have pointed to the limited capacities...

... this career. It is known that many actions have been planned and executed in this direction. In the international literature, it is possible to know about initiatives in schools and universities to reduce the difference between the number of girls and women to boys and men, especially in physics courses...

... education. In physics, in particular, women students continue to be significantly underrepresented in doctoral programs compared with men students. Although half of the U.S. population are women (United States Census Bureau, 2019), only 19% of all physics students are women ( Mulvey et al., 2019...

.... For example, for early years from Kindergarten through the two stages of Middle School, the Standards note explicitly that “men and women of diverse backgrounds/from all cultures and backgrounds / from different social, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds' work as scientists and engineers. Gender then drops away...

..., with the most common disability types described as “ambulatory” (5% of working-age population) and “cognitive” (4.5%; National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, 2021 ). In the U.K. 18.6% of working-age women and 18.8% of working age men reported having a disability ( Kirkup et al., 2010...

... as knowledge constructed by scientists, who are men and women working in a collectivity of scientists. Matthews's arguments about the historical-philosophical approach in science teaching were adopted in PER. Back to Matthews' arguments for historical approaches to teaching, it is essential to point out...

... finding multiple items unfair to women and a few unfair to men. An item is “fair” for some groups of students if students within the group and outside of the group with the same general facility with the material score equally on the item. Henderson et al. (2018) applied the same techniques...

...) provided rich evidence of how a young, immigrant, Muslim woman physicist working in a Western European country was constantly “othered” and, consequently, faced incredible barriers from men who saw physics as a white (and Judeo-Christian) academic space. Relatedly, Prescod-Weinstein (2020) posits...

... education, underrepresented female STEM workers have attracted attention. The most commonly used method in this topic is through the analysis of pictures used in textbooks. Scientists in the textbooks were traditionally pictured as western, white, middle-class men, which was pointed out to be irrelevant...

... gender. There were more women in roles that used a laptop for notetaking and more men in roles using equipment ( Quinn et al., 2020 ). Other research shows that these role differences are not likely due to students’ preference but may result from a subtle, mostly unspoken, negotiation of roles...

... that physics is diminished without them ( Rodriguez et al., 2022 ). Challenging past educational research's implication of “why can't women be more like men?,” PER feminists look to “change the culture” itself ( Traxler et al., 2016 , p. 4). Feminist science learning and participation becomes...

... and men portrayed? ( Gumilar and Amalia, 2020 ). If textbooks should be teacher-oriented, then: Which factors make teachers choose a specific textbook? ( Martins and Garcia, 2015 ). If textbooks should be context-based, then: What are causes and effects of artificial tasks...

... a diverse group of students in the interview sample they used to help in validating their survey ( Adams et al., 2006 ). In particular, they took care to select interview subjects from introductory courses catering to the full range of majors, including equal numbers of men and women and 20% non...
