Column Editor's note: Laura McCullough teaches physics at the University of Wisconsin—Stout. She has a Ph.D. in science education and conducts physics education research on gender issues in physics. I was impressed with her passion for this issue when I heard her speak at an AAPT session several years ago, and I think you will agree that the insights she shares here can help all of us to ensure equity for all students we teach.
