Biography
Lecturer and Course Coordinator Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning Janice Crerar, a lecturer in the School of Education at Charles Darwin University, has a diverse background in health science, education, spatial science, community development and social policy analysis. As a teacher of science and maths in the middle years of schooling, she is passionate about supporting classroom diversity and equity for students. While working as a classroom teacher, Janice became increasingly interested in the role of gender in determining teachers’ pedagogical choices and in socially constructed notions about students, particularly in science and technology. This interest provided the impetus for current doctoral research on women and/in science. This research collects and analyses common dialogues, stories and ideas about science from the perspective of women science teachers and women scientists to investigate how girls and women embody science. The implications for girls in choosing their pathways to, from or in science will be articulated and points of exclusion for women will be identified and contested.
