This dissertation examined the experiences of Mexican women in male-dominated STEM work contexts using a mixed-methods convergent design approach to collect data through interviews and a web-based survey experiment applying the name-blame-claim framework (Felstiner et al. 1980). The interview-based study examined the negative career experiences of Mexican female scientists to identify critical junctures in which reports of sexist discrimination might stall. The survey experiment measured how the perpetrator’s gender influences scientists, as third parties, naming discrimination against women (DAW) by labeling an injurious sexist event (ISE) as discriminatory treatment and gender-triggered. The perpetrator’s gender does not affect third parties in identifying discriminatory treatment; however, it does impact identifying the target’s gender as the event trigger.
