摘要

高等教育中的黑人学生和研究人员在STEM学科中缺乏相关的榜样。黑人女性在STEM领域的代表性不足，她们的前景也没有得到充分的研究。我们进行这个项目是为了了解黑人女性在STEM HE中的观点和挑战。这项定性研究从半结构化访谈中确定了自我认同的黑人女学生和英国高等教育学者的主题。黑人女性在学术界面临着性别歧视和种族主义的挑战，在STEM学科中的代表性不足导致了她们的孤立。榜样、导师和学术支持网络可以成为激励和促进职业发展的源泉。

Lived experiences of black women pursuing STEM in UK higher education

Black students and researchers in higher education (HE) face scarcity of relatable role models in STEM subjects. Black women are under-represented in STEM and their outlook is under-researched. We undertook this project to understand the perspectives and challenges of black women in STEM HE. This qualitative research identified themes from semi-structured interviews of self-identified black female students and academics in UK HE. Black women face challenges due to both sexism and racism in academia, and under-representation in STEM subjects leads to isolation. Role models, mentors and academic support networks can be a source of inspiration and facilitate career progression.
