My research is focused on broadening participation in the sciences, technology, and engineering as well as supporting youth and teachers to engage justice and sustainability issues in science teaching and learning. I have worked on several research intervention projects to prepare teachers to better serve minoritised youth in science and education, including students who are speakers of languages other than English and Indigenous students. I also draw on feminist and Indigenous studies, critical pedagogy, and science-technology-studies (STS) to re-imagine possibilities for radical equality and social and ecojustice in/through science and education.
