LeAnne Salazar Montoya (Educational Psychology, Leadership, and Higher Education), University of Nevada Las Vegas Gina Delgado (Teaching and Learning), University of Nevada Las Vegas As two Latina's working in an R1 institution, we symbolize the hope, the dream and the desire's our parents had for us to use education as a form of human, social, and societal capital. We share our work through a qualitative method known as PhotoVoice to narrate our work by owning our stories, embracing our diversity and sharing our gifts! |
The RWE SIG considers itself an inclusive organization that supports a wide variety of scholarship. This call invites scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, K-12 educators and students, and community activists to share their work as it responds to and complements the conference theme: Reimagining Education for Women and Girls: Inclusivity, Equity, and Voice For All in the 21st Century.
At each annual meeting, we work to build a sense of collegiality and fellowship among conference participants, presenters, and board members. Our conference follows a format where presentations are based on the different stages of a research project. Some presenters will share completed research while others will share research that is emerging and needing feedback. In a small conference environment, we strive to create a safe environment that supports people in furthering their research and career agenda. We will hold Junior Faculty and Graduate Student Roundtables and invite these people, who are at different stages of their career trajectory, to attend. We advocate that conference participants provide constructive and critical feedback to presenters who are in the beginning stages of their research.
