The Trials, Tribulations, and Triumphs of BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQ+ People in ChemBE
Mentored by Jeff Gray
The JHU department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering owes many of its international prestige and contributions to various fields of scientific research to the many BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other minorities that have made up its extensive history. Using alumni and faculty testimony, past population statistics, and demographical research in Baltimore and beyond, this project will illuminate the efforts of these esteemed individuals, as well as their roles in the ever-changing history of ChemBE. In building a database whereby one can explore the history of diversity within this major, we hope to provide a reflection of the leaps and bounds that the department has made since its establishment, as well as retrospective insight into future trends of the ChemBE population.
