###Research Interest
I am interested in studying factors that increase equity, inclusion, and learning in undergraduate STEM classrooms. My lab studies how language use and framing of topics like genetics, race, and sex impact student understanding of these topics, as well as their feeling of belonging in the classroom. I am also interested in studying how different class structures or policies, like flexible course-structures, different grading strategies, or student-designed activities impact learning and belonging in the classroom.
