. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 High Risk, (with Hope for) High Reward: Lessons Learned from Planning and Hosting an Unconference Abstract Often in diversity and inclusion research, the goal is to represent the perspectives of those whoare ‘not at the table,’ but seldom do research methods provide the participants an actual seat ‘at the table.’Informed by a participatory action research approach, we partnered with study participants, positioningthem as our co-researchers. Together, we employed an unconference (also known as an Open SpaceTechnology workshop) as a research method in order to elevate the voices of

Theyare responsible for disseminating information to and collecting information from theirdepartments. For example, Fellows might share information they learned in project workshopsand their own individual studies, and they might gather departmental data on rates of doctoralprogram completion and attrition and career paths of recent doctoral graduates. They alsocoordinate faculty efforts to develop plans to increase URM doctoral candidate recruitment andretention.
