I believe it is essential that, as a white researcher and educator working in multicultural spaces, I continuously work to reflect on my biases critically.

I recognize that my approach to this work is influenced by my experiences working in science education contexts dominated by Western worldviews for more than two decades.

I acknowledge my white privilege and strive to approach my work with humility, understanding the inherent power dynamics at play in engaging with non-dominant and underrepresented knowledge systems.
