  • Achieving Gender Equity in Science Classrooms: A Guide for Faculty
  • Creating Gender-Fair Learning Environments for the Nuclear Medicine Technology Classroom
    To accommodate projected personnel needs nuclear medicine technology (NMT) programs will want to attract and graduate an increased number of females. Based on the reported gender performance differentials for science proficiency, this goal may not be possible without a change in the traditional means of student instruction and assessment. The educational literature suggests that one method of overcoming this gender differential is to create a more gender-fair learning environment. This paper attempts to synthesize this literature, and offers some suggested curriculum modifications, teaching techniques and instructional behaviors that will help create a gender-fair learning environment.
  • Contributions of 20th Century Women to Physics
    Presented here is an archive of data on 86 twentieth century women who have made original and important contributions to physics. The citations describe and document their major contributions and provide biographical information pertaining to the scientific lives of the women. To historically contextualise the important contributions the women have made, brief accounts of some of the 20th century history of physics can be found in this website

  • Towards Internationalising Visual Arts Curricula
    The data collected on curricula in Australian university art schools offer evidence that this sector of university education has been slow to respond to the need for art schools to diversify their approach to curriculum development and pedagogical practices. The recommendations derived from the analysis of the data can be used by universities as a starting point for developing a more internationalised Art Theory/History curriculum and delivery of a visual arts program to Asian students from overseas
