the trans studies discourse into their work.Quality and academic rigorTo ensure qualitative rigor, we follow Walther et al.’s [21] qualifying qualitative research quality(Q3) framework. The Q3 framework’s emphasis on reflexivity coordinates with reflexive contentanalysis and centers the impact of prior experience and societal conditioning in our researchprocess. While we recognize the shortcomings of utilizing the Q3 framework, it is widelyrecognized as an appropriate method of analyzing qualitative research quality in engineeringeducation. We assured theoretical validity in our study by purposefully sampling articles fromtrans studies that best aligned with educational practices and by choosing STEM educationpapers written by authors
disclose what has been done to themduring their employment.State lawsOver 20 states have approved laws either banning NDAs or making them unenforceable undervarious conditions, such as sexual assault, sexual harassment, retaliation, or discrimination, andmultiple bills are in legislative process. Washington’s Silenced No More Act, sponsored byRepresentative Liz Berry and referenced below, is exemplary, and requires the party trying toenforce an NDA to pay a $10,000 fine and cover the other party’s legal expenses.

indicate prior knowledge and desired knowledge. AQFT, as Jackson explains, “build[s] curiosity about the lesson, and see[s] what the students know andwhat they want to know.” The QFT technique allowed students to connect energy concepts with memoriesof their favorite childhood toys, allowing them to connect their background to the lesson better. As part ofthe activity, students also researched the carbon footprint behind their favorite snacks. The students alsoconsidered how climate change has changed relevant aspects of their lives. Jackson: And then we talk about, again, the effects of global climate change on anything they want to think about. Has it affected music? Has it affected video games? So what is it, you know? In

In fact, in our currentstate within the U.S., an individual’s zip code remains one of the strongest indicators of theirhealth and overall well-being [1].
