Transcription

Background

Basu attended Stanford University, where she received a B.A. in Human Biology in 1998 and completed her doctorate in Science Education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2006. For her PhD thesis titled How urban youth express critical agency in a 9th grade conceptual physics classroom, she received the Outstanding Dissertation Award[2] in Division K (Science Education) from the American Educational Research Association.

Later in 2006 she joined NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development as an associate professor.[3]

Basu won the 2008 research fellowship from the Knowles Foundation for her work on the interpretation of democratic science pedagogy by new science teachers.[4]

Basu served as co-founder, acting assistant principal and science department chair at the New York City Department of Education School for Democracy and Leadership in Brooklyn, New York (2003-6).[5]

Castilleja School in Palo Alto awarded its Distinguished Alumni award to Dr. Basu in its centennial year and dedicated a garden in her memory.[6]

Basu co-authored the textbook, Democratic Science Teaching, Building the Expertise to Empower Low-Income Minority Youth in Science.[7]
