Ayshea Banes

Ayshea is a PhD student in Curriculum and Instruction and an MA student in African American Studies. She received her bachelor’s in physics in 2023 from Wichita State University. However, as time continued on, she became more interested in physics education and ways we can transform it. She is passionate about ways to center Blackness within the physics classroom and how this will lead to Black liberation. She really enjoys doing puzzles, Pilates, reading, and petting her cats!
