Professor Hanson, Ruby

I am a professor and past dean of science at the University of Education, Winneba. I am also a former Acting Pro-Vice Chancellor. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry Education from the same university and completed a master programme in analytical and environmental chemistry (toxicology) at the University of Cape Coast. My research focuses on the design of interactive approaches to enhance students’ conceptions through sub micro chemistry activities and the integration of systems thinking, engineering and the social sciences into chemistry curricula to inculcate into learners, principles that will help to mitigate humanitarian challenges. I recently have won four grants that are geared towards whipping up young rural children between the ages of 10 to 15 years’ interest in chemistry. I have over 100 publications in the forms of books, chapters in edited books, journal articles and conference proceedings.
