This chapter thematises gender and educational choices by close-reading three women’s stories about choosing physics-related STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) taken from a more extensive qualitative study of atypical educational choices. Taking an interest in the subject is an established explanation of what drives us to choose a particular education. Strategies and campaigns to recruit women to the STEM subjects have therefore been designed to attract women for the very reason that they are women. In this chapter we have dispensed with gender as a background variable for explaining interest in STEM, and we will use empirical examples to demonstrate how the act of choosing an education can be interpreted as sociomateriality. The interaction between human and material factors also involves embodied experiences, something which gives gender agency. The chapter is thus a contribution to gaining a wider understanding of which factors come into play when choosing an education and how these factors relate to each other. In turn this will enable us to understand how educational choices can be influenced through material experiences and practices both in and outside educational institutions.
