Associate Professor, Science Education/Teacher Education
School of Education
Dr. Kang’s research involves investigating the design and impact of innovations that support preservice and in-service science teachers’ learning to teach towards a more just, sustainable, and thriving future. She also investigates youth’s engagement and identities in science with a particular focus on youth from non-dominant linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. With the support of the NSF, she is currently partnering with a local school district to transform science teaching through co-design and enactment of an equity/justice-centered science curriculum and assessment.
