Citations in the corpus

• Racial Stereotypes and Gender in Context: African Americans at Predominantly Black and Predominantly White Colleges (2004, background): “Although most such research has not included many African American students, research that has included representative numbers of African American students (e.g., Simpson, 2001) indicates patterns of major choice across gender similar to that of European American students.”
• Race, Gender, and Measures of Success in Engineering Education (2011, background): “because they are not underrepresented, and they demonstrate the highest rate of persistence (Culotta & Gibbons, 1992; Fullilove & Treisman, 1990; Humphreys & Freeland, 1992; Simpson, 2001).”
• COLLEGE MAJOR CHOICE: An Analysis of Person–Environment Fit (2006, background): “It would therefore be natural to assume that college students are likely to choose majors where they would follow in their parents’ footsteps (Simpson, 2001).”
