De-sexing STEM Education: He advocates for changing the curriculum and teaching methods to be more inclusive, dismantling the perception of science as a male-dominated domain.
Feminist Pedagogy: He promotes "ABCs of Feminist Pedagogy," which involves creating equitable choices for women and girls in education to meet, rather than be limited by, gender differences.
Practical & Low-Cost Solutions: Dr. Kishore has worked on projects aimed at encouraging girls' participation in science through hands-on, low-cost "toys and techniques" to overcome resource limitations.
Addressing Gender Bias: His research highlights that traditional, less-inclusive teaching in STEM contributes to fewer women entering these fields, calling for a "feminizing" of courses.
