This interdisciplinary, mixed-methods approach offers a new paradigm for examining the crisis of Latinas in engineering (a field that remains 82% male), illuminating the nuanced and multiple exclusionary forces that shape the culture of engineering and its borderlands.Hispanic American womenEducation (Higher)United StatesSex discrimination against womenUnited StatesSex discrimination in higher educationUnited StatesWomen engineersEducationUnited StatesHispanic American womenEducation (Higher)Sex discrimination against womenSex discrimination in higher educationWomen engineersEducation331.4/820008968073Camacho Michelle Madsen1969-1568107Lord Susan M.1965-1568108MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786882703321The borderlands of education3840004UNINA
