Queer Geology

Many teens interested in earth science and feminism are eager for resources that center women and marginalized voices. Queer Geology, as offered through Modulo, highlights illustrator Rachel Ignotofsky’s posters, books, and prints celebrating women in science within a geology-focused context.  Her artwork combines bold visuals with bite-size biographies, making complex histories feel accessible and inspiring. Parents like hanging these prints in learning spaces or using the books as springboards for research projects. It’s ideal for middle and high schoolers, as well as grownups, who want to see scientists who look like them reflected on the wall. Physical prints and books do cost more than simple PDFs, but their longevity and daily visibility add value. Pro tip: invite your student to choose one featured scientist each month to research more deeply and present, turning decor into a recurring project.
