New publication: Practices and Perspectives of College Instructors on Addressing Religious Beliefs

We are happy to announce a new lab publication in the journal CBE Life Sciences Education. Headed up by graduate student Liz Barnes, we conducted an interview study examining the practices and beliefs of instructors who teach evolution at public institutions of higher education in Arizona. Strikingly, we found that the majority of instructors did NOT think that it was their job to teach acceptance of evolution and their own personal beliefs played a major role in their instructional practices.

To check out the article, entitled "Practices and Perspectives of College Instructors on Addressing Religious Beliefs When Teaching Evolution," click here.

The paper has been picked up by Phys.org, Science daily, Creation Evolution Headlines, Science 2.0, and the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science , Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science, and Technology.

It has also been posted on ASU's EvMed blog and TeachTech blog.

Congrats Liz on your first first author publication!!
