Sex, Gender, and Physics Teaching, Continued
This month's cover provides a glimpse of a physics class continuing the conversation about “Sex, Gender, and Physics Teaching” that was started with our May 2020 issue of TPT. The articles marked with the pink and gray thumbnail image are part of the special collection. (cover art by Jen Geanakos)
Since August 1, 2014, the submission process for articles for The Physics Teacher has required authors to submit their article and cover letter at this website: http:www.editorialexpress.com/tpt. Starting June 10, 2020, the submission process for articles for The Physics Teacher will change. On or after June 10th, authors should submit their article and cover letter at this website: http://tpt.peerx-press.org/.
