An exploration of workplace participation and earnings patterns for diverse women in US STEM professions that upends the myth that STEM work benefits women economically. Seen as part economic driver, part social remedy, STEM work is commonly understood to benefit both the US economy and people—particularly women—from underrepresented groups. But what do diverse women find when they work in US STEM occupations? What do STEM jobs really deliver—and for whom? In Disparate Measures: The Intersectional Economics of Women in STEM Work (MIT Press, 2024), Mary Armstrong and Susan Averett challenge the conventional wisdom that a diverse US STEM workforce will bring about economic abundance for the women who participate in it. Combining intersectionality theory and critical data theory with a feminist economic analysis, the authors explore how different groups of diverse women truly fare in US STEM professions.Disparate Measures is centered on eight unique, in-depth case studies, each of which provides an intersectional economic analysis (a term coined by the authors) of diverse women working in STEM occupations. Four case studies prioritize women of color and examine the STEM participation and earnings of Black women, American Indian and Alaska Native women, Asian and Pacific Islander women, and Hispanic women/Latinas; four additional case studies illuminate intersections that are frequently neglected by the STEM inclusivity literature: foreign-born women, women with disabilities, Queer women, and mothers. What the authors find in their groundbreaking, detailed analysis is that the promises of STEM are only partly true: when compared to women not working in STEM, most women are indeed economically elevated by STEM occupations—yet when compared to white men in the same STEM occupations, women's second-class status is usually reaffirmed. The authors conclude by offering seven “big-picture” recommendations for rethinking STEM equity, showing just how we can successfully confront the entrenched patterns of economic disadvantage faced by diverse women in STEM jobs.

QuantumBloom COO & Co-Founder Andrea Mohamed shares data that should make every leader stop and think: 76% of high-performing women get negative feedback on performance reviews. Only 2% of high-performing men do. And the vast majority of the negative feedback that the high-performing women get is about their personalities. Andrea's journey from rural Michigan to a Duke MBA to tech leadership wasn't just about overcoming personal barriers, it was about recognizing that the problem isn't the women leaving STEM careers. It's the environment pushing them out. The path forward to counter a massive STEM talent shortage requires courage over comfort, authenticity that builds trust and long-term vision beyond quarterly earnings. Her question to all of us isn't whether we can afford to change, it's whether we can affort not to.

In this week's podcast  we talk about the challenges of building a career in the complex modern world of structural engineering.My guest today is Claire Gott, Head of Structures at global consultancy WSP - an engineer whose work has helped shape some of the most ambitious and high-profile structures in the UK and beyond but who has also devoted large parts of her career to date helping and encouraging others to join and navigate the profession. I first met Claire back in 2011 when, just out of Southampton University, she won the New Civil Engineer Graduate of the Year Award. She was hugely impressive then, and she continues to be today in a senior leadership role at WSP that puts her at the heart of designing many of the buildings and infrastructure that define our cities and communities.Major projects such as 40 Leadenhall, a landmark commercial tower in the City of London that's redefining how we think about wellbeing, heritage reuse and sustainability; the visionary Eden Project North in Morecambe, a regenerative design project pushing boundaries on biodiversity, embodied carbon and community engagement; London Bridge Station refurbishment, Paddington Square and of course a rake of structures on the London the Birmingham HS2 project.And I imagine that she will be turning her hand to the newly approved 1 Undershaft, and it's clear her influence spans some of the UK's most complex and high-profile developments.But as we will explore, Claire's impact extends far beyond the drawing board. A powerful advocate for diversity in engineering, she is a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a mentor with the Circle Partnership, and a visible role model for women in STEM. And she remains hugely active in Cameroon Catalyst, the charity she co-founded at university focused on sustainable development in rural Africa.So how do you build such a rounded and complex career like this? Overcoming the technical and cultural challenges to lead projects that build not just for performance, but great places for people and the planet. ResourcesClaire Gott Linked InWSP websiteCameroon CatalystCreating the LEGO Bridge: A Civil Engineering ChallengeICE Connects40 LeadenhallEden North

This week we have a deep convo with Holly Smithson, CEO of Athena and walking TED Talk on confidence, community, and leadership. We hit: - The lie of imposter syndrome - Why confidence is a damn choice - Women in STEM and why we need more of them—like yesterday - How feminine energy could actually save modern leadership - The power of showing up even when you're unsure Cuff Daddy, Bobby Digital, and Holly don't shy away from the hard stuff—but we still find a way to laugh through it all. Come for the feels, stay for the fire playlist.
