Natalia Caporale

Natalia Caporale's research interests center on issues of equity and diversity in science education, with a focus on understanding the barriers that Students of Color, women, LGBTQ+ students and non-traditional college students (parenting students, foster youth, veterans, returning students, etc) face as they pursue their science degrees. Her research group applies both qualitative and quantitative methods in their studies, and her research philosophy is informed by theory of learning, critical race frameworks, intersectionality and asset-based models.
