Qualitative Research in STEM examines the groundbreaking potential of qualitative research methods to address issues of social justice, equity, and sustainability in STEM. A collection of empirical studies conducted by prominent STEM researchers, this book examines the experiences and challenges faced by traditionally marginalized groups in STEM, most notably culturally and linguistically diverse students and women. Investigations into these issues, as well as the high dropout rate among engineering students and issues of academic integrity in STEM, come with detailed explanations of the study methodologies used in each case. Contributors also provide personal narratives that share their perspectives on the benefits of qualitative research methodologies for the topics explored. Through a variety of qualitative methodologies, including participatory action research, Indigenous research, and critical ethnography, this volume aims to reveal and remedy the inequalities within STEM education today.

Our International Education presents the stories of threeAmerican women, a university professor, a high school math teacher, and a highschool English as a second language teacher, who move to Hungary for a year toteach. Each woman brings her young children and enrolls them in local Hungarianpublic schools though none of them speak Hungarian at the beginning of theexperience.
The autoethnographic stories that make up OurInternational Education weave together the personal and professional dimensionsof life abroad, illuminating not only the realities of negotiating work,school, and family life in another country, but also the complexities ofcultural adjustment and second language acquisition. First-person storytellingmakes this book a compelling read for those considering a move abroad withtheir family, and an excellent supplemental narrative for those studying secondlanguage acquisition, acculturation, autoethnography, and internationaleducation.
“These interconnected stories of three women andtheir children living in Hungary offer an alternately uplifting andheartrending look at what families face when overseas. The co-authors present adeeply personal and vivid account of their bold adventure, from the initialthrill to the gradual revelation that life abroad is not always the carefreeromp that some might perceive. Our International Education masterfullydemonstrates the unequivocal impact of cross-cultural understanding.” – EleniKounalakis, United States Ambassador to Hungary 2010-2013 and author of MadamAmbassador: Three Years of Diplomacy, Dinner Parties, and Democracy in Budapest.
