Profile

Anna Danielsson is Postdoctoral Fellow in Education, funded by the Swedish Research Council. Her research interests are in the area of gender issues in science education. In her current research project she explores primary school student teachers’ relations to the teaching and learning of science from a gender perspective. She holds a PhD in physics, specialising in physics education research, from Uppsala University. In her PhD thesis she investigated university physics students' constitution of identities as physicists from a gender perspective.
