IRLI Journal Club Insights
In the spring 2026 semester, Tufts graduate and advanced undergraduate students have been gathering weekly for the inaugural semester of the Institute for Research on Learning and Instruction (IRLI) Journal Club. In collaboration with IRLI faculty, their goal has been to collectively explore an area of recent scholarship in STEM education research. We have focused this semester on the topic of “student agency and relationality in STEM classrooms."
