Summary

STEM Push explores the multifaceted history of women's involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, moving beyond simple explanations to uncover the intricate factors influencing female participation. It challenges the notion of linear progress, highlighting how social attitudes, educational policies like Title IX, and economic conditions have created both advances and setbacks. One intriguing fact is the fluctuating nature of female representation in STEM, influenced by historical events such as the post-Sputnik era's emphasis on science education. The book adopts a data-driven approach, using census records, enrollment statistics, and biographical data to examine trends in STEM education and careers. It analyzes the impact of landmark legislation and cultural shifts while incorporating insights from sociology, economics, and education to offer a comprehensive perspective. By focusing on verifiable trends rather than anecdotes, STEM Push provides an evidence-based understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing women in STEM, making it valuable for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in promoting gender equity in these fields.

 
The book begins by establishing a historical foundation of early challenges women faced in STEM. It progresses through key periods, detailing the impact of legislation and cultural norms, and concludes with an economic impact analysis of gender disparities in STEM.

How to Teach College - Inspiring...

James W. Loewen

A posthumous book by the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, sharing the strategies and secrets of an award-winning, fifty-year career as a college professor 
  
“Not a few professors teach solely because they have to, to hold a position that lets them do what they really want to do, which is ‘their work’—their research, their writing. … Those professors miss the joys of teaching.”—from the introduction to How to Teach College 
  
Widely known as the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, James W. Loewen, who passed away in 2021, was a leading sociologist of race relations and a prizewinning college educator. With a teaching career spanning over half a century at Tougaloo College, Harvard University, University of Vermont, and Catholic University, Loewen taught the way he wrote: with creativity, humor, and a high expectation that students can handle the truth. 
  
How to Teach College is an invaluable resource for professors teaching in increasingly fraught American classrooms. With a special emphasis on teaching students from diverse backgrounds and potentially controversial subjects, this posthumously published book comes to us in Loewen’s vibrant, original, and inimitable voice. In it, he offers advice from the epic (how to convey a love of one’s topic and motivate students to become lifelong learners) to the technical (how to design a syllabus, manage the classroom, testing and grading)—all drawing on firsthand anecdotes from his own courses on sociology and race relations. 
  
Edited by Loewen’s son, Nicholas Loewen, a longtime high school teacher, and sociology professor Michael Dawson, How to Teach College is sure to inspire generations of teachers to come. 
  
“How to Teach College is a 'cookbook' of over one hundred (I counted!) practical lessons, techniques, tricks, and gimmicks that Jim learned in his fifty-year career as a college teacher. It provides a clear road map that will make teaching easier, more effective, and more rewarding for students and professors alike. While it speaks directly to teachers, I hope that educational leaders at every level will read—and absorb—this brilliant, eminently sensible, and highly readable book.”—John Merrow, former PBS Education correspondent
