Learning to Succeed in Science : Stories of South Asian Women in Britain Hardback
by Dr Saima (University of Glasgow, UK) Salehjee, Professor Mike (Brunel University London, UK) Watts
Part of the Bloomsbury Gender and Education series
Hardback
Description
This book offers a positive and compelling exploration of how young south Asian women can be encouraged to study science further and to consider STEM as a career.
Drawing together both intersectional and personal perspectives, the book celebrates south Asian culture, sharing the stories of these individuals, their multifaceted identities, aspirations and successes. At the micro-level, an intersectional analysis reveals complicated identity negotiations of being young, female, a science-orientated student, imigré, Muslim, a daughter and a sister, as well as how these identities might interact, nest, and shift.
The chapters build on the authors' previous work in science education, developing models of science identity (Sci-ID) and women’s engagement with the study of science and their aspirations for a science-based career.
