Allison Gonsalves Releases Book: Physics Education and Gender

Published: 19 May 2020

Congratulation to Allison Gonsalves (Assistant Professor, Department of Integrated Studies in Education) on the release of her new book, Physics Education and Gender, co-edited with Anna T. Danielsson (Uppsala University, Sweden).

Physics Education and Gender engages with concepts of gender and identity as they are mobilized in research to understand the experiences of physics learners, teachers, and practitioners. Part of the Cultural Studies of Science Education book series, this volume contributes to a growing scholarship using sociocultural frameworks to understand learning and participation in physics, and that seeks to challenge dominant understandings of who does physics and what counts as physics competence.

Allison Gonsalves’ research interests are in the area of science identities, with a focus on gender and equity in higher education and out of school science learning contexts.
