Teaching Science

Faculty who don't conform to that like really limited stereotype around embodied identity face a lot more student questions and skepticism. For the example I was talking about earlier about being helpful, because there's a gendered expectation around being helpful. People who are female are expected to be more helpful, more understanding kinder, the expectations are higher. So what I have to do, like to show that I'm available to help a student. It's an assumption that students are bringing in from the outside world. Those don't stop just because we've entered the classroom. The same expectations, ideals, assumptions that exist outside the classroom are coming in with us.
