About
Valeria Del Bosque’s research illuminates the pathways and experiences of underrepresented groups in STEM, with a particular focus on Hispanic female students. Her most-cited work, the 2019 study ““Nothing is impossible”: characteristics of Hispanic females participating in an informal STEM setting,” has garnered 25 citations, establishing a foundational understanding of how informal learning environments can empower young women from Hispanic backgrounds. Del Bosque’s major contribution lies in identifying the specific traits—such as resilience, curiosity, and a growth mindset—that enable these students to thrive outside traditional classrooms. By centering their voices and experiences, she challenges deficit-based narratives and provides actionable insights for educators and program designers seeking to broaden participation in STEM. Her work has direct implications for curriculum development and mentorship initiatives, offering a blueprint for creating inclusive, culturally responsive spaces. Del Bosque’s research not only advances academic discourse but also serves as a critical resource for practitioners aiming to dismantle systemic barriers, making her a vital voice in equity-focused STEM education.
