Hi! I’m Aarti!

I’m a PhD candidate at Boston University, where I study how children learn about the world around them. My research explores how the explanations kids hear from others shape what they learn, and how social and contextual factors like learning environments and identity play a role in that process.

I’m also fascinated by how people think about science more broadly. A second thread of my work investigates how beliefs about science and comfort with scientific thinking affect how people learn and reason about scientific questions.
