About me
I am a research associate professor of sociology at the Center for Science, Mathematics, & Computer Education (CSMCE) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My research focuses on broadening participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) in K-22 informal and formal education and the professorate. I want science and scientific research to be inclusive, especially for people who belong to groups who have been historically excluded from STEM, and I want STEM to accessible and equitable for all.
As a research professor, I work as a co-investigator and/or evaluator on various federally funded grants including the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. My work is very interdisciplinary, and I have had the opportunity to work with researchers at the University of Nebraska across STEM fields, and in the arts and humanities. I have also had the privilege of partnering with teachers and administrators in K-12 schools and with informal education professionals in libraries, museums, 4H, and community learning centers. I am passionate about serving my community and partnering with a broad range of people to bring sociological methods and ideas to the everyday world.
