{"pk":3106,"title":"Stuck in the Pipeline: A Critical Review of STEM Workforce Literature","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this critical review of the literature, I interrogate the assumptions underlying STEM workforce studies as it pertains to gender, race, class, and citizenship. First, I provide a brief overview of the pipeline model’s history and critiques. Next, I look at the contemporary use of the model in STEM workforce studies, focusing on the ways in which recruitment and retention, scientific work, and identity are represented, measured, and understood. I argue throughout that the pipeline model has a limited view of retention that is based upon socially constructed ideas about what constitutes “valid” scientific and engineering work and who counts as “real” scientists and engineers.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"STEM"},{"word":"Pipeline"},{"word":"identity"},{"word":"measurement"},{"word":"sociology"},{"word":"education"},{"word":"Science, Technology and Society"},{"word":"Labor Studies"}],"section":"Literature Reviews","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6zf09176","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Heather","middle_name":"","last_name":"Metcalf","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Arizona","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2010-03-12T03:00:00-05:00","date_accepted":"2010-03-12T03:00:00-05:00","date_published":"2010-05-27T03:00:00-04:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/gseis_interactions/article/3106/galley/1899/download/"}]}
