- The Sociocultural Approaches to Science Education Equity (SASEE) lab was established in 2011 with the aim to expand science learning opportunities for students who are often marginalized from school and science (including students who are culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD), special education needs (SEN), students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, girls, and others.

- Using sociocultural theories and critical research methods, our lab members seek to understand barriers to student success in science and to help transform formal and informal science learning environments to promote improvements in student science achievement, attitudes, and interest. We focus attention on supporting changes in science teacher education and professional development, curriculum design, and policy implementation that aim to make "Science for All" students a reality.
