The RELiC lab is a community of students, teachers, and faculty who work to understand what would be required for chemistry classes to support learning that is useful in daily life. This agenda is multi-faceted and requires attending to how people and communities use chemistry in daily life, considering how (or whether) knowing and learning in-class resembles knowing and learning in-life, and de-settling taken-for-granted assumptions about what chemistry learning could and should look like. Although our physical space is housed in the chemistry department, members of our community have a range of disciplinary expertise and the questions we ask resonate beyond school chemistry.
