Dr. DuBow completed a qualitative study on what motivates and deters male allies in their support of gender diversity in the workplace. She is currently conducting two multi-year National Science Foundation studies: (1) a mixed-methods study on the circumstances under which young women pursue (and do not pursue) computing/engineering, despite showing some initial interest in high school, (2) a mixed-methods study of the effects of training community college faculty on recruitment and retention strategies for women and minority students, and the extent to which that intervention has an effect on student outcomes.
