Journal Article 1: Charles, M. (2011). What gender is science? Contexts, 10, 22–28. doi.org/10.1177/1536504211408795

Abstract: Looking at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields across countries challenges the assumption that women in more economically and culturally modern societies enjoy greater equality. Rather, freedom to choose a career may paradoxically cause women in affluent Western democracies to construct and replicate stereotypically gendered self-identities.

Journal Article 2: Finn, S., & Collman, G. (2016, September 6). The pivotal role of the social sciences in environmental health sciences research. NEW SOLUTIONS: A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy, 26, 389–411.

Abstract: Environmental health sciences research seeks to elucidate environmental factors that put human health at risk. Multidisciplinary research teams that include social and behavioral scientists are essential to conduct this type of research.
