Since the 1990s, the “Women in STEM” (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) agenda has been a central part of gender equality strategies in science, education, and business. Critical reflections on equality strategies in STEM subjects have increased over time, with recent contributions coming from intersectional, queer-feminist, postcolonial, and decolonial perspectives.
We welcome theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions that critically examine existing neoliberal logics of excellence, funding and utilization, and discuss institutional and knowledge policy alternatives.
Editors are Monique Ritter, Sahra Dornick and Bernadette Rohlf. 
We cordially invite you to submit an abstract by 28 June 2026.
