Critical race theory in science teacher education (Felicia Moore Mensah)
Meet The Education ResearcherShow Notes
Prof. Felicia Moore Mensah (Teachers College) works in the area of science education and teacher preparation.
We talk about Felicia’s application of critical race theory to science and STEM education, the power of teacher counter-storytelling, the difficulties of being a critical researcher in the current US political climate, and the need for academic writers to celebrate their small wins.

We talk to Phill Dawson (Deakin University) about how to make sense of some of the latest trends around authentic assessment, self-assessment and ‘ungrading’.
Students choosing to study overseas has long been an important part of higher education, but is becoming increasingly politically contentious.
Many Australian schools have extensive rules around what students are expected to wear and what they should look like.
Getting published in academic journals can be a major source of stress for education researchers.
We hear regular reports of a ‘crisis’ in teacher recruitment and what has been characterised as an exodus of educators leaving the profession.
