Justice-oriented approaches to Science Education (Sara Tolbert)

“So you’re a science educator? That’s so radical!’ Sara Tolbert (University of Canterbury) is committed to challenging the politics and power that underpin science education. Sara talks about her work in supporting Indigenous knowledge and place-based learning in school, feminist approaches to teaching as care-work, and what we can learn from the classroom ritual of dissecting animals. We also reflect on being a scholar/activist in times of culture wars and growing ‘anti-woke’ sentiment.
