Teaching between the Lines: Representation in Science Textbooks.

Dasia Y Simpson1, Abby E Beatty2, Cissy J Ballen1.   

Abstract

Science textbooks communicate fundamental discoveries and serve as platforms showcasing role models for students. However, the scientists represented across undergraduate textbooks do not reflect the demographic makeup of the student population reading those materials. We recommend a series of changes within curricula to challenge the stereotypical identity of science.
