While this study is limited to one particular institution, we invite you to reflecton the ways heteronormative notions of professionalism may be manifesting at yourinstitution, and how you could challenge those norms to create a more inclusiveenvironment.References[1] M.

Your discussion should holistically address the most crucial human contexts and ethical stakes of your work. To help you discuss these impacts thoughtfully, we've provided several prompts below. While we expect your response to address at least some of these, you should treat these as guidelines rather than a checklist. a. Is your recommendation feasible? Who would have the power to implement it? Who might have the right to object? b. How would the impacts of your recommendations

Her work involves designing and researching contexts for learning (for students, educators, and faculty) within higher education. Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized

In both groups’ discussions, we see nods toreasoning (b) (turns 1.2 and 2.2), but neither of the recorded discussions nor any of these sevenstudents’ written pre-responses mention hiring done by humans.

Undergraduate Engineering Student PopulationIntroductionIt has been previously documented that severe weather events cause a wide range of directmental health concerns, including depression, PTSD and anxiety in individuals living in theaffected community [1]. However, as the urgency around broader climate change has increased,and countries race to meet the 2050 goal of net zero emissions to limit global warming [2], a newphenomenon known as “Climate Anxiety” has emerged [3]. Climate anxiety is a form of anxietyinduced by the existence of climate change and concerns about this change, rather than discreteweather events. Simply being aware of climate change and its negative impacts on our naturaland social systems can cause a severe anxiety response. The

teaching that seeks out divergent and creative thinking5. Examples of stepswithin this process may be (a) revision of syllabus to reflect a more inclusiveenvironment, (b) revision of course materials and assignments to reflect a morediverse perspective (for example, choosing readings which reflect a diverseperspective), and (c) using teaching methods which promote openness andinclusivity (including use of non-agonistic rhetoric). These particular methodshave been successfully developed and employed in the authors’ iSTEAMworkshop program which has been applied to a wide variety of STEM courses.Reported results show an increase in student comfort and motivation, reflected inenhanced learning gains6.

importance of the voice of thecommunity when developing a technical solution: “Because if some people think the problem tobe solved is ‘A’ and I show up with a great technical solution to ‘B,’ guess what? The folks whoare looking for ‘A’ are going to say ‘What?”’ (00:22:49–00:23:04) This identification ofstakeholders and the solution environment illustrates problem definition.Leo went on to describe one of the things that attracted him to the university in the first place:institutional support of leadership positions related to things like “social innovation”(00:34:20–00:34:27). Leo actively suggested revisions for such positions, again illustrating hisproblem-solving mindset.Finally, Leo spent a sizeable amount of time discussing how innovation

frameworks from the domains of engineering education and technical and professional communication to implement this research into a classroom intervention aimed at reducing the gendered disparity in these communication challenges. To help resolve these issues, this methodological paper presents a new research method called, "infrastructural rhetorical analysis" derived from the field of rhetoric and communication. The paper then applies this method to an educational intervention case study involving the experiences of women in the first-year engineering classroom to determine a concrete classroom intervention that aims to make the most difference with the least amount of resources needed to implement it.
