Steven Semken
Associate Professor of Geoscience Education and Geological Sciences in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University.
Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989
Research
I'm an ethnogeologist who studies effects of place and culture on understanding of the Earth, and on the teaching and learning of Earth science. I'm also involved in reforming K-12 and public Earth science education, and improving diversity in the geoscience community. Most of my work is based in the geologically, ecologically, and culturally diverse places of the American Southwest.
Teaching
I regularly teach courses in Field Geology, Southwest Regional Geology, Physical and Historical Geology, Teaching Earth and Space Sciences, and Exploration of Science Teaching. Before joining ASU, I taught Geology and Environmental Science on the Navajo Nation.
