Description

Physics as famously been described as ‘a culture of no culture’, but it’s also a discipline imbued with cultural associations. Physics education researchers have explored on how cultural traits of the discipline of physics, such as how it is perceived as difficult and high-status, can contribute to in/exclusions of students. In this talk I will give an introduction to how educational researchers have utilised the analytic lenses of gender, identity and culture in order to understand student experiences and promote a more inclusive physics education.
