Sara Brownell, Arizona State University – Workshop: Spotting sources of bias in undergraduate science

Sara Brownell, President’s Professor, School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University

Sara Brownell is a biology education researcher whose research focuses on making undergraduate science learning environments more inclusive. Trained as a PhD neuroscientist, she transitioned to discipline-based education research and is an expert on course-based undergraduate research experiences and making undergraduate science learning experiences, specifically active learning courses and undergraduate research experiences, more inclusive. Her research focuses on students with concealable stigmatized identities such as religious students, LGBTQ+ students, and students with disabilities, as well as the impact on students of instructors revealing these identities in the context of the classroom. Her research in biology education has been internationally recognized and featured in Science Magazine, as well as in numerous news outlets, including the NY Times, CNN, and Scientific American.
