the 4Rs as an empirically understood heuristic [29]. Thelimits of this single example are many: as a single example case, it doesn’t clarify the many waysacademic reviewing processes do harm for scholars from different positionalities or illustrate themany strategies authors can use to recognize, reveal, reject, and replace the harm and inequitythey encounter. However, these additional strategies are illustrated in our findings and suggestthat the 4Rs and the margin of maneuverability comprise an applied theory useful for addressinginequities within and outside of the academy.[1] D.

The number of videos viewed per student after week 8 in spring 2020 (switch to online)showed a slight increase (3.7) relative to the fall 2019 views per student (3.5) after week 8. Thissuggests that the utility of the GenZ video titles can be suitable in a completely online course.The instructor(s) provided multiple pieces of feedback to support these data. Each topic wasdesigned to have theory video(s) coupled with at least one practice video as a complete set forstudents. Students were encouraged to watch the appropriate videos before class to promote in-class discussion (a very slight shift towards a more flipped classroom).

FrameworkTo examine the cultural narratives embedded in a pre-college engineering summer camp, weposition our research through the theoretical lens of cultural production theory. Culturalproduction theory examines “local meaning(s) produced by groups in everyday practice, theirconnection to larger social structures, and the possibility, no matter how slim of challenging thestatus quo” [3, p. 5]. By using the lens of cultural production theory, we can evaluate the waysindividual and collective agency operate in the structural constraints of daily practice to constructculture [4]. Through this evaluation, we can identify the patterns in our actions (practices), theways we label our efforts (intentions), and the ways we describe ourselves (histories
