Dr. Brawner is also an Exten- sion Services Consultant for the National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT) and, in that role, advises computer science and engineering departments on diversifying their undergraduate student population. She remains an active researcher, including studying academic policies, gender and ethnicity issues, transfers, and matriculation models with MIDFIELD as well as student veterans in engi- neering. Her evaluation work includes evaluating teamwork models
engineering pedagogy.Dr. Nadia N. Kellam, Arizona State University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have
. degrees in Civil Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 To Be or Not to Be: A Dialogic Discussion of Two Researchers’ Hidden and Transitioning Identities Introduction Simplicities are enormously complex. Consider the sentence “I am”. With this opening adapted from a poem by Richard O. Moore (2010), we emphasize howsome of the simplest aspects of the human experience contain vast complexity: identity;belonging; education; justice. The CoNECD community focuses on these aspects and centers thescholarship and practice of equity and
research interests include community cultural wealth, counterspaces, intersectionality, and institutional change.Dr. Coleen Carrigan, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Dr. Coleen Carrigan is an assistant professor of Anthropology and Science, Technology and Society (STS) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Using ethnography, she investigates the historical and cultural dimensions of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), with a particular emphasis on Computer Science and Engineering, and why these high-status fields appear impervious to desegregation. Dr. Carrigan shares the findings from her research to foster welcoming environments for underrepresented
in engineering – their experiences, support systems, and pathways to success. According to the 2015 U.S. National Trans Survey, 24% of people perceived astransgender on college campuses were verbally, physically, or sexually assaulted, and 16% lefthigher education due to the level of harassment they experienced [14]. These statistics for theoverall population are further divided across racial lines, with TGNC individuals of colorexperiencing greater marginalization. TGNC students who perceive a negative or discriminatorycampus climate report decreased measures of student success as measured by performance andretention [15]. The years of higher education are of particular note in TGNC research as nearlyhalf of the US trans population
