As a budding author, Dr. Ansley’s dissertation focused on African American women who had obtained STEM graduate/doctoral degrees in computer science, engineering, and physical science. Her goal was to unearth barriers and catalysts to their graduate and career success so that she could develop retention models to improve their college persistence.
She has published and presented extensively on the experiences of African American women and minority students in STEM education and student affairs. Her writings are featured in the books The Table, Gumbo Females of Color Book 2, Seeing the Hidden Minority: Increasing the Talent Pool through Identity, Socialization, and Mentoring Constructs, Fraternal Organizations, and Mentoring: Valuable Compacts for Young Black Males, and Teaching Beautiful Brilliant Black Girls.
