- Description
Sarah Boon shares her experience as a woman in science in her autobiography, Meltdown, tracing her career trajectory from a field trip on Hilda Glacier to PhD-level work in the Arctic. This work is a blend of adventure, fieldwork, academic strain, publishing experiences, and gender challenges for a woman in science. Boon doesn’t shy away from sharing her experiences, including feelings of imposter syndrome and feeling disconnected from her academic work. The entire work could be used as a novel study, particularly if there are learners interested in a career in science, as it could be discussed as an autobiography or to further discuss career paths in STEM. Given that there are also extensive discussions of fieldwork experiences, it could also be connected to discussing working on the land and environmental work.
