Ethnography & Evaluation Research (E&ER) has a history of disseminating research findings in publications geared toward varied audiences: STEM faculty, program developers and other practitioners, and social science researchers. Our publications address significant topics in science education, such as inquiry, undergraduate research (UR) and learning in experiential contexts; equitable participation of women and minorities in STEM; professional development of faculty and education-engaged scientists; and undergraduate attrition and retention in STEM fields.

For in-depth information about our work, please investigate specific research areas of interest.
