Areas of research interest
My research areas span queer and feminist science studies; public engagement with science; global ethics and equity issues in applied biotechnologies; deliberative and critical race STEM pedagogies; participatory and qualitative methodologies, and feminist DIY laboratory science. I am trained as a Drosophila (fruit fly) molecular geneticist, with expertise in feminist, queer and critical race approaches to STEM.
Pedagogically, I have developed a model of Deliberative Pedagogy to reshape student learning in undergraduate science courses around feminist and inclusive principles that integrate science with civic engagement in an interdisciplinary active learning context. I have taught a wide range of courses in the areas of introductory biology for non-majors; feminist theory; race, gender & food justice; genes & society; gender, science and social context; and nanotechnology, society and sustainability, as well as graduate ethics training for research.
