Oh, the places you can go … if you ace calculus: helping minoritized students succeed in undergraduate mathematics by Amira F. A. Ibrahim, Sarah E. McKellar, J. Frank Yates, Priti Shah

“…However, most of the literature on minoritized STEM students uses a deficit lens and does not consider the role of historical and systemic contexts on these students’ STEM achievement. As a product, current interventions used to increase academic achievement are limited in scope and do not consider the complex interplay between the numerous factors known to influence academic success. …”

How STEM content is presented in mathematics textbooks from the U.S. and China: a comparative study by Shuhui Li, Lianghuo Fan, Jietong Luo

“…The enriched-level STEM content (i.e., full integration of in-depth and a wide range of content knowledge) was very limited. The PEP series contained more from engineering and agriculture, and presented more in the main text; the BIM series presented more in statistics and probability, placed more in chapter previews, had more moderate-level content (i.e., partial integration of content knowledge) and a balanced distribution of authentic and non-authentic contexts in enriched-level content. …”
