Underrepresented minorities refer to groups within a society that have historically been marginalized or disadvantaged in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and access to resources. This research area focuses on studying and understanding the experiences, challenges, and barriers faced by these minority groups, such as racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals with disabilities, and other marginalized populations. Research in this area aims to identify and address factors contributing to the underrepresentation of these groups in various fields, as well as to develop interventions and policies to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion. By highlighting the unique perspectives and experiences of underrepresented minorities, researchers seek to create more inclusive and equitable societies where all individuals have equal opportunities to thrive and succeed.
