Ariana L. Garcia, Blanca E. Rincón, and Juanita Hinojosa (all Educational Psychology & Higher Education) co-authored a book chapter, "'There Was Something Missing:' How Latinas Construct Compartmentalized Identities in STEM" in the book . This study investigates how Latinas pursuing STEM degrees understand and utilize their identity to persist in STEM. The findings reveal that Latinas demonstrated resilience through the construction of compartmentalized identities within STEM, which they then leverage to establish same-identity mentoring relationships that aided their persistence.
