Identity
Zahra Hazari
Zahra Hazari's research focuses on reforming physics learning environments in an effort to improve critical educational outcomes for under-represented groups in physics, especially women. In particular, her work centers on physics identity development, often through a recognition of belonging to the physics community, and the development of agency in physics (i.e. empowerment to take intentional actions).

"Identity has to do with how people recognize themselves, fundamentally, but that is mitigated by how they are recognized by others as well as their own interests."
