Now welcoming submissions for Volume 7, the Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and
Engineering publishes original, peer-reviewed papers that report innovative ideas and programs,
scientific studies, and formulation of concepts related to the education, recruitment, and retention

in science and engineering are consolidated to address the entire professional and educational
environment.

Subjects for papers submitted can include:

  • empirical studies of current qualitative
    or quantitative research;

  • historical investigations of how minority status impacts science and
    engineering;

  • original theoretical or conceptual analyses of science from feminist,
    racial, and ethnic perspectives

  • reviews of literature to help develop new ideas and directions for future
    research;

  • explorations of feminist teaching methods, minority student/white teacher
