Biography

Bryan Brown is the Kamalachari Professor of Science Education at the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. His research explores the relationship between student identity, discourse, classroom culture, and academic achievement in science education. He focuses on the social connotations and cultural politics of science discourse in both small-group and whole-group interactions. Additionally, his work examines how teacher-student discourse influences learning opportunities in science classrooms, particularly in urban communities. Brown’s research is dedicated to developing collaborative curricular cycles and pedagogical practices that enhance discourse-intensive instruction for urban learners. His recent studies investigate how classroom and school culture impacts access to higher education, conducting mixed-methodological research that explores the effects of race, language, and culture on students' learning experiences in urban science education settings.
