Establishing Credibility in the Classroom: Junior Women Engineering Faculty Narratives and Strategies to Overcome Student Bias and Aggression

by Brenna Rose Stone

This research presents findings from a study investigating the classroom experiences of junior women engineering faculty. We report research findings from hour-long interviews with junior women engineering faculty across the U.S. Themes emerging from the data include how past experiences with bias shape approaches and strategies for overcoming future bias; the importance of having a variety of women role models; and the need to prepare women engineering grad students for these challenges of faculty life.
