\nCitation: “This paper is notable in promoting access for people with disabilities — which requires understanding the non-obvious obstacles — and presenting a strong example of survey design and improvement.\u201d<\/li>\n
\nCitation: “For research topic and methodology that are novel in PER, empathetic involvement of participants in research, and a well written and researched account of all that.”<\/li>\n
\nCitation: “For developing a well-grounded framework for examining how particular curricula privilege or disadvantage students with abilities across a multidimensional spectrum.”<\/li>\n
\nCitation: “For robustly applying metaphor analysis to how women in physics conceptualize success in physics to arrive at insightful findings and for deliberately engaging study participants in interpretive, analytical work.”<\/li>\n
\nCitation: “For their exploratory work with well-supported conclusions on the under-investigated issue of how faculty feel they enact research-based instructional strategies and why they alter them. A good example of how preliminary analysis can be done well for the PERC proceedings.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nJackie actually updated the website…<\/h3>\n
