ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I explore my experiences as they relate to social phenomena within STEM culture through the lens of my intersecting identities. I share vignettes from my STEM career and education, particularly through the lens of my gender identity. Specifically, I depict experiences that introduce the erasure, compounding violence, and subsequent battle fatigue I endure. I then introduce some of the current discussions in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) arena and describe how we can “call” violence “in.”
