Belonging and Identity in Stem Higher Education

Recommendations for enhancing belonging in STEM higher education.

In Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education, Camille Kandiko Howson and Martyn Kingsbury examine the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogies in facilitating belonging, variable impacts across student characteristics, and the experiences of STEM students in higher education. Through case study contributions, the book analyzes the unique educational environments for STEM staff and students throughout Europe and Asia, challenging the assumptions that STEM fields are inherently unemotional and impersonal disciplines.
