Just finished the terrific @WhyNotMeSTEM conference, and wanted to share some of the insights I’m taking away. How do we take students who see all of the barriers and reasons why NOT them in STEM, and shift them to the excitement of wondering, “why not ME?” #WhyNotMeSTEM (1/n)
Dr. Kim challenges STEM researchers to 1) use narratives and stories to (re)humanize STEM, 2) to develop narrative competence so we can promote empathy, sensitivity, awareness, and social justice, & 3) to be good narrative listeners. What a great message for the conference!
Great kick-off talk by Dr. Jeong-Hee Kim! Telling us about how narratives are an important way of knowing. I love this and will add Bruner’s way of knowing to the ways of knowing described by bell hooks and John Moore.
Excited to co-host the #WhyNotMeSTEM conference in town and online next week (May 23-24th)! Want to join? There are still virtual spots open. Thanks to @NSF for the funds to make this possible! @WhyNotMeSTEM #STEM #Inclusion #Equity #AcademicChatter forms.gle/nHLcqTjqf7VL3w…
