Dear colleagues: The RESPETO Project is excited to host a seminar series exploring the critical role of language in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. The seminars in this series will discuss the complexities of language, particularly how it intersects with racial equity and inclusion within higher education. Join us for the first session featuring Dr. Amy Slaton, a renowned STEM historian! Title: “Inclusion” as Promise and Practice: A Historical Confrontation with Racism in STEM Date: Friday, October 18th, 2024 Time: 9:00 AM Location: JPL Assembly Room Dr. Slaton will explore how historical narratives and power dynamics shape the way we communicate scientific and technological concepts. This session will be followed by a workshop on discourse analysis, offering practical tools to analyze and deconstruct language in STEM education. RSVP for workshop is required!
