Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to review equity-oriented Physics Education Research (PER) that focuses on graduate education. Through this review, we aim to support researchers in understanding the research landscape around equity issues in graduate education and identify possible gaps in the field where additional research is required. While our focus is PER, we include discipline-based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education research to provide context for the PER work that is included. Additionally, many STEM fields face similar challenges to physics in terms of existing inequities in graduate education. This chapter discusses the major aspects investigated on equity in physics (and STEM) graduate education.
