Short presentation
I investigate scientific literacy in teacher education, examining how it is conceptualized and privileged across different national and institutional contexts. My research employs a comparative approach to investigate how science teacher education programs promote scientific literacy in diverse educational settings. I also enjoy teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including organic chemistry, research methods, and comparative education.
