Carly Jordan

Carly Jordan is a specialist in biology education, having earned her Ph.D. in Cellular Biology and a graduate certificate in University Teaching from the University of Georgia in 2011. She teaches biology both for the Women’s Leadership Program and the University Honors Program, and she strives to create inclusive classroom environments and challenging courses. She is committed to actively engaging all students using evidence-based approaches to teaching, and contributes to the scholarship of science education, as an author of case studies and curriculum materials for use in biology courses. She is also a lead member of the BCEENET, Biological Collections in Ecology & Evolution Network, whose mission is to foster collaboration between educators and museums, and to encourage the use of natural history collections in undergraduate education and research. Finally, she leads a team of undergraduate researchers focused on diversity and inclusion in human sexuality textbooks. We explore how issues such as racism, sexism, and heteronormativity appear in textbooks on sex and reproduction.
