Heather Perkins studies how students in science, health, and engineering fields develop a sense of belonging and 'science identity,' including how diversity and representation in coursework affect this. Her work also touches on education practices in nursing, medical civic engagement, and curriculum design aimed at broadening participation in STEM and health science fields. This research is likely of interest to students exploring science education, identity development, or diversity in STEM/health training programs.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with peaks in 2018, 2020, and 2024, and a decline to roughly 1-4 papers per year in the most recent years.
