Short presentation
From a disciplinary background in organic chemistry, my research interest today has a much wider interdisciplinary platform; in its broadest sense, it deals with gender/feminist perspectives on natural science activities, especially science education. More specifically, it concerns how an increased gender awareness and knowledge about science 'culture', as historically and socially situated, can affect teachers’ teaching in these subjects.
