James Lab

Research

The James lab is foused on investigating the interrelated questions of: 

  1. How do students activate their chemistry knowledge in unfamiliar, interdisciplinary contexts?
  2. What are the core, foundational concepts and skills in materials chemistry, and how do we support the teaching and learning of these skills?

Current projects

  • A Systematic Review: Deficit and anti-deficit framing in STEM education
  • What is Materials Chemistry? A rational identification of foundational skills used in materials chemistry practice
