| Abstract: | This study uses case study analysis to explore the ways that Spelman College, a historically Black women’s college, promotes
the attainment of African American women in STEM fields. Although limited to one institution, the findings shed light on the
ways that institutional characteristics, policies, and practices may mitigate the barriers that limit attainment of African
American women in STEM fields. Drawing on the findings, the paper concludes with recommendations for improving policy and
practice as well as recommendations for additional fruitful research. |
