Abstract: Science and engineering research excellence can be maximized if the selection of researchers is made
from 100% of the pool of human talent. This requires policies and approaches that encourage broad
sections of society, including women and other underrepresented groups, to participate in research.
Institutional policies, interpersonal interactions, and individuals’ attitudes are drivers of workplace
culture. Here, some new evidence-based and systematic approaches with a focus on culture are
proposed to foster women’s inclusion and success in science and engineering.
First journal article by the WISEatlantic Research Team featuring data from our survey of middle school students in the Maritime Provinces.
The WISEatlantic Research Team has released another paper from our survey of grade 7 & 9 students in Atlantic Canada.
This study provides a contemporary case for exploring the assumed ‘opt out’ phenomenon among early-career female researchers.
Building upon token theory, this paper analyses coping behaviours of women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) through a professional identity perspective.
Journal article that Draws on 48 interviews with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) doctoral students at a private research university in the United States (US), the researchers examine how students make sense of the preponderance of men at the faculty level despite increasing gender parity among students.

This study provides a contemporary case for exploring the assumed ‘opt out’ phenomenon among early-career female researchers.
This paper analyses coping behaviours of women in SETT through a professional identity perspective. It proposes that female scientists need to negotiate and balance conflicting aspects of their professional and gender identities throughout their career.
