STEM & Gender
The project is a series of studies on how multiple ecological systems on the cultural, social, motivational, and behavioural development of youth shape their major and career choices particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). These studies also focus on gender differences in the ecological mechanisms leading to STEM pathways.
