science educators for equity, diversity, & Social justice

SCHOLARSHIP INCUBATOR (12 min presentation, 5 min Q&A) - A manuscript of work seeking feedback 

This format is designed to ignite and engage new ideas and scholarly endeavors that aim at alternative perspectives and activities to engage education and community stakeholders in socially just practices, ways of thinking, and theoretical frameworks in/for science education. The SEEDS conference team will group similarly themed papers. Each presenter will have an allotment of time to present their manuscript followed by a period of questions and discussion.
