Leaky pipelines: Primary children’s subject interest, science capital and aspirations to careers in engineering (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Edmonds, J., & Lewis, F. (2021, September). Leaky pipelines: Primary children’s subject interest, science capital and aspirations to careers in engineering. Presented at British Educational Research Association Conference, Online
