Welcome to STEMinism Unfiltered, a podcast created by two women engineering professors with over 40 years of combined experience, and a shared commitment to drive change.

In this inaugural episode, we introduce ourselves and the mission behind the podcast: to shed light on the recurring challenges women face in STEM, to empower others to speak up, and to build a community committed to equity and transformation.

Together with our colleagues and friends, we explore:

• The current landscape of women in STEM, from representation to pay gaps

• How early educational experiences shape long-term participation in STEM

• Why structural change, not just individual effort, is essential

• Our personal journeys through academia and what keeps us here

This podcast isn’t about blame; it’s about clarity, community, and collective action. We believe that by sharing stories and identifying patterns, we can help others see what’s not right, why it matters, and together how we can all be agents of change.
