Personal profile
About
Dr. Mary Bridget Kustusch's scholarly work is in the area of Physics Education Research (PER). She has conducted qualitative and mixed methods research on topics such as the intersection between mathematics and physics, the development of student agency in the classroom, and equity in small group interactions. As a co-director of the Professional development for Emerging Education Research (PEER) program, she has developed and conducted numerous field schools on education research. After earning a BS in Physics from North Park University and a PhD in Physics from North Carolina State University, she spent two years as a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State University working on the Paradigms in Physics project, primarily studying the learning of partial derivatives and thermodynamics.
