Anthony M. Perry

Our lab focuses on two big questions:

How does framing STEM education as a pathway to high-paying, in-demand occupations affect student engagement?
How might we (re)design the education system to create equitalble STEM learning experiences which leverage assets in communities, schools, classrooms, and individuals?

Our work centers the learner, their relationship with community partners (e.g., schools, informal learning, family, and place), and their imagined futures. Often, this work takes place in the context of Career and Technical Education (CTE) where students can learn technical skills as a strategy to adress wicked problems in the workplace and society writ large.

We are always looking for new members! Check out the Teaching & Leadership Ph.D. Program program in UND's College of Education and Human Devleopment for more details or send me an email (anthony.m.perry (a) UND (dot) edu) to learn more.

Assistant Professor, STEM Education; College of Education and Human Development; University of North Dakota. 23-present.
