Kudos: Assistant professor, doctoral students selected as NARST Basu Fellows
An assistant professor and three doctoral students in the Mary Frances Early College of Education were recently selected as 2021 Basu Fellows by the National Association of Research in Science Teaching (NARST).
Xiaoming Zhai, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, as well as science education doctoral students Jose Manual Pavez, Harleen Singh, and Acya Fackler, will use the fellowship to improve the experiences of students, teachers, policymakers, and schools that serve underrepresented communities.
“It’s a great honor to be recognized as a Basu Fellow by NARST,” said Zhai. “The award is a great encouragement, and I will continue developing equitable and inclusive science education and addressing equity issues through my teaching and research.”
