ABSTRACT
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math make up the STEM field, a field which is being centered in education discourses in order to funnel more (Western) 1 girls and boys to pursue careers in these fields. STEM initiatives are often linked to programs that seek to increase the number of girls or of minorities who are participating in science and who are taking up science careers. But what if girls, particularly those within the United States, do not want to be involved in the field of STEM as it is today?
