Agenda and Programs
This year’s keynote address will be given by Dr. Bryan Dewsbury, Associate Professor of Biology at Florida International University where he also is an Associate Director of the STEM Transformation Institute.
Keynote: Beyond Inclusion - Teaching for civic engagement and social participation. Questions about inclusive teaching practices sometimes limit us to discussions about within-classroom outcomes. In this talk, we will explore the notion of education being a vehicle for social transformation by interrogating its role in wider society. We will also discuss strategies that we can consider in our courses, regardless of the subject matter that prepares students to be fully engaged members of society.
