During this talk, I aim to facilitate a critical conversation about Black women's educational experiences in post-secondary physics and astronomy education in Canada. To accomplish this, I develop a framework to understand the normative physics and astronomy curriculum, wherein 'normative curriculum' refers to the learning and performance expectations that extend beyond what texts like...
Culture is a way of learning and therefore determine student career interest and performance. In Nigeria, the females are often regarded as the weaker sex and therefore need to choose careers not met for men. This results to gender inequality especially in the science and related discipline. The purpose of this study is to determine the cultural effect of gender on the admission and...
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) is an organization that is deeply committed to promoting EDI among the worldwide community of professional physicists. As a Chair of 2022-2024 C14 (Physics Education) Commission of IUPAP, I had a privilege to participate in and co-organize several events that took place during the mandate of the current commission and were aimed at...
Diversity is lacking by most measures, in most STEM fields, including physics. A survey of Canadian physicists from 2021, called CanPhysCounts, found that the percentage of white men only increased as you move up the ranks in physics; the undergraduate level having the most diversity and people in physics careers or faculty positions being the least diverse with over 50% of people surveyed...
