Recent research from the American Enterprise Institute found that women and racial and ethnic minorities feel unwelcome in STEM fields, unlike their white male counterparts. It is clear that more work needs to be done to ensure that STEM careers continue to attract and retain a diverse workforce.
To discuss this and other findings of the report, Brent Orrell and Dan Cox hosted a webinar with Nicol Turner Lee, the Director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution, and Audrey Van Belleghem, the Business Lead at Facebook.
The slides from the event can be found below. This episode of Hardly Working is the recording of that event.
The post Building a more inclusive STEM workforce appeared first on American Enterprise Institute – AEI.

It is very disappointing to see AEI apparently buying in to the whole DIE agenda (diversity-inclusion-equity).
It is not “clear” that anything needs to be done because, reportedly, “women and racial and ethnic minorities feel unwelcome in STEM fields.” Facts don’t care about your feelings. If someone feels unwelcome, maybe the feeling is the problem, and maybe it’s without any objective basis.
We’re seeing an overt effort to impose racial, sexual, and other identity quotas. I think that we on the right need to be replying with a resounding “no,” and not offers to compromise. There is no compromise with the radical left.
I have not listened to the podcast. I did look at the slides.
The survey was interesting. All the “woo” that followed was not.
