Upcoming: Physics Pedagogy Colloquia – 11/21/24 & 4/24/2025
As part of one of the CLS goals to examine culture and practices of Physics education, we’ve invited two experts on these topics to give a Physics Colloquium. Geraldine Cochran is speaking on 11/21/2024 and Catherine Crouch will be visiting on 4/24/2025. Prof. Cochran is an Associate Professor at U. Ohio and will be speaking on “Understanding the Community Cultural Wealth of Physics Graduate Students and Implications for Graduate Programs.”
We are actively recruiting for volunteers from all labs to help us set up and perform several demos for a sizable crowd of all ages! If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Rachel Strom (rstrom@uchicago.edu).
