About

Dr. Joyce Main is a leading scholar in engineering education, whose research critically examines the intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion within engineering faculty. Her most-cited work, "Women of Color Engineering Faculty: An Examination of the Experiences and the Numbers" (2020, 6 citations), provides a foundational analysis of the systemic barriers and underrepresentation facing women of color in academia. This paper, alongside her broader portfolio, has shaped national conversations on how to recruit, retain, and support marginalized faculty. While her doctoral thesis explored human-robot interfaces and her master’s degree focused on control systems, Dr. Main has since pivoted to address pressing social justice issues in STEM. Her contributions are vital for institutions seeking to foster truly inclusive environments, and her work continues to influence policy and practice in engineering education.
