Eve Manz, assistant professor of education specializing in science education, received the Early Career Research Award from the National Association of Research in Science Teaching (NARST) for her professional achievements as an early career scholar.

According to a press release from NARST, “Dr. Manz advances the idea of implementing uncertainty in elementary students’ empirical activities to support their engagement in science practices. In partnership with school leaders and teachers, she also studies the complexity of elementary teaching systems. Her work is grounded in sociocultural theories, science studies, and the learning sciences, resulting in novel theoretical frameworks and methods for tracing the emergence of science practices and associated discourse in classrooms. . . . As an early career scholar, Dr. Manz is making significant contributions.”

The award is granted annually by a selection committee of NARST member scholars, and will be presented to Manz at the organization’s annual international conference, taking place in Baltimore later this month.
