Description

In this talk, I will offer a critical synthesis of studies on gender matters in science education from 2014 until 2022 with a focus on physics. The talk is organized around 3 research areas: a) understanding gender gaps and gender stereotypes in physics, b) gender performativity and identity-based approaches to gender explorations, c) intersectional approaches and queer theories in physics. In doing so, I will summarize existing knowledge, identify gaps in the knowledge base and provide a set of recommendations for future research directions in physics education with a focus on gender.
