Are you a fan of Mary Murphy's classic 2007 paper showing that underrepresentation makes college women feel they won’t belong in STEM? We conceptually replicated that finding with middle school girls in CS. t.co/VHp5yELKEy
The final experiment tried to counter effects of stereotypes. It worked, but the effect was small. By middle school, stereotypes have taken root and it will take more than superficial messaging to make girls feel like they belong in CS. (5/n)
