What must we remember about this past year?
What must we forget?
What does joy look/sound/feel like?

Responses can take a variety of forms depending on what feels best to participants – spoken, written, drawn, or even just thought. These discussions are intended to normalize connecting with and caring for the people around us.

Understanding the Productive Beginnings of Engineering Judgement (October 20, 2021 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/87988 87988-21648635@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 20, 2021 10:30am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In 200- and 300-level engineering science courses, students are traditionally asked to use mathematical models to solve well-defined textbook homework problems. While these problems are important for practicing mathematical problem-solving, they lack the complexity of ill-defined, sociotechnical engineering projects in the real world. In my current research I seek to bridge this gap between the engineering classroom and engineering workplace by understanding how students engage in the productive beginnings of professional practices and how instructors can support these productive beginnings.   This seminar will focus on one particular practice, engineering judgment, which is the use of mathematical models in design and analysis. I will begin by discussing my background and own personal motivation for this interpretivist research. I will then present my work in progress on the development of a new theoretical framework of the productive beginnings of engineering judgment. This research has been conducted symbiotically with a new innovative type of assignment in which students model a real-world system by making and justifying their own assumptions. I will conclude by outlining my future work on students’ development of macroethical reasoning and formative assessment strategies instructors can use to engage students in the productive beginnings of professional practices.

STEM Incubators: Centering Black Families' Rightful Presence in STEM (November 3, 2021 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/88372 88372-21653523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 10:30am

Black families act as STEM incubators. Despite stereotypical representations that are often rooted in deficit framing, Black families provide their children access to STEM opportunities, resources, capital, ways of thinking, behaving, and sense-making Scholars have identified that Black parents influence the college-going and completion process through practices such as sharing information, developing expectations around school completion, positioning students as examples to younger siblings/family members, and by sharing advice on how to persist when faced with challenging situations.  Building on this work, I will present some of my research on Black family life and the lineage Black contributions to STEM in order to provide evidence of the ways that Black families incubate STEM learning and aspirations. I have found that families – with emphasis on parents – leverage capital and establish family cultures values and practices that support STEM exploration and confidence. This talk will highlight some of my recent contributions along with implications for research on informal/family learning spaces

Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.

Southern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year.

Carrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts, probing its rich history, examining its critical ecological mechanisms, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire, a carrier of the torch.

Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.

Southern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year.

Carrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts, probing its rich history, examining its critical ecological mechanisms, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire, a carrier of the torch.

Come and experience the wide variety of artwork that is happening behind bars through a guided tour by one of PCAP’s curators. Hear the rich conversations that happened with the artists during this year's selection trips, and can even find a piece (or two, or three...) that you gravitate towards and write to the artist.

We're warning you though... it is going to be powerful!

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Amplifying students’ voices in the classroom (April 6, 2022 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93246 93246-21701938@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 6, 2022 10:30am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In this seminar, I plan to discuss culturally relevant pedagogy and its importance in our engineering education practices. I also plan to focus on the importance of incorporating the voices of our students, especially those from traditionally marginalized backgrounds in our teaching practices. My goal is to help participants improve their learning environments and teaching practices by acknowledging and supporting the cultural knowledge and assets that students possess. Just as our learning environments are complex, so are the individuals that comprise them. Everyone has visible as well as “invisible” cultural identities and culturally relevant pedagogy attends to those differences. Learning happens when we can connect the new knowledge we are receiving to our previous experiences, so being able to make those connections despite our backgrounds is really important. Similarly, a key aspect of learning is to feel safe. When we feel safe and recognize that our ideas are valued, and who we are is important and relevant to the learning community, we have the motivation to engage with the collective construction of knowledge. Best practices around CRP and some research results will also be shared.
