Andrea’s primary research interest is in identifying student cultural resources for understanding physics concepts and supporting them to navigate between traditional physics ways of thinking and their personal/cultural ways of thinking. This work intends to highlight students’ strengths without requiring them to assimilate to the traditional physics way of thinking. A second area of interest is supporting a learning community of instructors to decolonize physics lessons.
