Soc. , 96 , 59–67. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-12-00215.1 A survey of U.S. atmospheric sciences doctoral programs finds that women are underrepresented among its faculty (17%) as well as among individuals who, having completed the doctorate, pursue academic careers (20%). 女性全面参与STEM具有重要意义： The full participation of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields is increasingly recognized as critical to STEM’s vitality and creativity. “With a more diverse workforce, scientific and technological products, services, and solutions are likely to be better designed and more likely to represent all users”states a report of the American Association of University Women (AAUW; Hill et al. 2010 , p. 3). According to Chubin and Malcom (2008) , Sooner or later, a White male science . . . graduate will sue his alma mater — not because he was denied admission to a special program, but because his education in a homogenous environment left him ill equipped to function in his chosen career, . . . a diverse team to satisfy a diverse client market. Women’s participation in STEM fields is also an issue of social justice ( Byars-Winston and Canetto 2011 ) because STEM occupations have median earnings above the national average ( Terrell 2007 ). Engaging more women in STEM occupations has the potential to reduce the income gap between women and men.
