Biography
Hamideh Talafian has a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Learning Technologies (STEM concentration) from Drexel University. Currently, she is a postdoctoral scholar in the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine, working with Associate Professor Hosun Kang. Her research interests are focused on students’ STEM career identity and motivation and providing equitable education for gender and racial minorities.
During her Ph.D. program, Hamideh has worked with distinguished professors/researchers in the area of STEM education research and was able to publish in high-tier journals and conference proceedings. Hamideh received her master’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and her bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the top-ranked universities in Iran and has more than seven years of teaching experience in a number of schools and English institutes in Iran. She has also experience teaching undergraduate and graduate students in science education as an adjunct faculty.
As a part of her professional services, Hamideh is on the editorial board of the Emerging Voices in Education Journal based in the School of Education, Drexel University, which is only for graduate students and is run by graduate students and early career scholars. She is also the reviewer of a number of journals and conferences, including but not limited to JXE, JSTEM, NSTA, AERA, SITE, and ICLS.
