| Abstract Title: | It’s not just about a physics identity: How informal programs can support multiple identities |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Informal programs that that provide students the opportunity to interact with both physics and other interests (such as sports, hobbies, art, etc.) encourage the growth of multiple identities that are integral to a student. These programs provide support to a diverse range of students and encourage growth in many different areas of a student's identity instead of just focusing on fostering a physics identity. We have been using both the Critical Physics Identity framework and Critical Race Theory as analytical tools for understanding how students are supported within these programs. Furthermore, we are seeking to understand the design principles for creating successful informal programs that can blend student interests with physics. |
