PERL co-director Vashti Sawtelle has been invited to deliver a plenary at the biennial Foundation and Frontiers of Physics Education Research Conferenceheld in Bar Harbor, ME (June 19-23, 2017). Her plenary will discuss the intersection of interdisciplinarity and equity -- two essential and overlapping areas of study for physics education.
Prof. Sawtelle is leading several research projects at Michigan State that investigate interdisciplinary thinking, equity, and how these ideas necessarily intersect in physics classrooms.
