"To wonder and wander in search of understanding is a joyful part of the human experience. Because of this, it is also an undeniable human right." -Brian Williams
Award winning science educator, scholar, and creative, Dr. Brian Williams has been infecting people with his passion for science for more than 25 years. His unique brand of science education activism lives at the intersection of scientific inquiry and social justice and is rooted in his vision for a world where all people have equitable opportunities to engage in science in ways that connect with their unique histories, cultures, and genius. His work has been published in Democracy and Education, School and Community Journal, Negro Ed Review, and International Journal of Social Research Methodology and has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the United States Department of Education.

In addition to his work with teachers, he has also developed science and mathematics curricula and taught science to both middle and elementary school students throughout the world.  In 2009, he launched the Science Wondershop at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Since then, he has engaged more than 9,000 children and adults in interactive, hands-on workshops designed to nurture wonder, excitement, and a love of science. Because of his extensive work in science education, multicultural education, and urban education, he has also served as an adviser to various school districts and other organizations such the White House, the National Science Foundation, the Educational Development Center, the United Way, and Quality Education for Minorities.
