Resource Library

“What an amazing resource library!”

Suzanne Scott

Thousands of curated resources related to advancing equity and justice in STEM

We strive to include voices, perspectives, movements, and methodologies often excluded and undervalued in STEM, DEI enterprises and scholarship, and academia more broadly. We also aim to ensure that disciplines often dissociated from STEM, including the social sciences, are integrated and recognized as foundational to driving systemic change in STEM.

Funded by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE Program, Awards HRD-2121468 and HRD-1740860, the ADVANCE Resource and Coordination (ARC) Network seeks to achieve gender equity for faculty in higher education science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. As the STEM equity brain trust, the ARC Network recognizes the achievements made so far while producing new perspectives, methods and interventions with an intersectional, intentional and inclusive lens. The leading champion in North America to propel the inclusion of women in the field of engineering, the Women in Engineering ProActive Network (WEPAN), serves as the backbone organization of the ARC Network.
