Amanda Glaze-Crampes, Ph.D., assistant professor of science education, was named the 2020 recipient of the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) Biology Education Research Award for her creativity and innovation in research furthering the understanding of undergraduate biology teaching and education.
The award includes a recognition plaque, one year of complimentary membership to NABT, and a $500 honorarium.
Glaze-Crampes will present her scholarship at the 12th Annual NABT Professional Development Conference that will be held online November 6-7. The conference hosts leaders in biology and life science education. The 2020 featured guests include marine biologist, writer and founder of Urban Ocean Lab and CEO of Ocean Collectiv, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Ph.D. as well as faculty investigator and vice president for educational outreach at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, Neil Lamb, Ph.D.
Glaze-Crampes is known for her research on the intersection of faith and evolution, specifically in the Southeastern United States. Since joining Georgia Southern in 2016, Glaze-Crampes has presented at 14 national and international conferences as well as six public events, including invitations from the Smithsonian Institute’s Broader Impacts Committee, the Darwin Week Committee at University of Tyler Texas, and the University of Alabama’s Museum of Natural History. In 2017, Glaze-Crampes co-edited a book addressing the depth of evolution education that is taking place in the south, regardless of the existing controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution. The book, Evolution Education in the American South, included chapters and research from each of the editors as well as outside researchers from the South.
