@sarajcarr Adding on this, let’s not forget the expectations of design teaching to higher Ed. The shift away from teaching design to developing research. The resulting focus or desire to hire specialist instead of generalist has also had an impact on the ability of others to design

Wondering how many students assume knowing AutoCAD, etc is the sole goal of school to get that fast design job.
forgetting that AutoCAD has been iterating since 1982 and adobe photoshop since 1987, calling them releases, and they still don’t have it right…
"Description is not liberation." ~Katherine McKittrick (2020)
This quote keeps rattling in my head this year, as the much of environmental and climate "justice" work focuses solely on descriptions of disparities.
Our goal is to demonstrate ways students can say “maybe you just suck,“ to their instructors without any long term repercussions to their academic standing.

In contrast, classroom feedback is often presented as anonymous, but faculty are often able to identify who the author is based on the tone of the comments.
In this paper, we will explore ways of using text-based AI platforms to scrub the identity of students in feedback.

@JenniferEditor @theprovenwinner Approx 35-40% of HS’s don’t have calc (and imagine where they are/who they serve), it seems to me part of the STEM status is advocating for that 35-40. If we want a diverse profession, it means we give them resources that are more than introductions- think academic tools
@JenniferEditor @theprovenwinner But has that k-12 impact been demonstrated in “allied professions” as sincere introduction? For me this is a HUGE issue. If we’re really trying to reach those people we need to advocate for them in those classrooms.
