DESCRIPTION
This workshop was recorded on 1/14/25
During this online workshop, we welcomed back Dr. Susan Sunbury from the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian for another discussion around STEM identity and career interest in STEM. The Harvard-Smithsonian team, together with colleagues from Florida International University, developed a survey to explore factors that affect STEM interest, identity and career interest for students traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Dr. Sunbury and her colleagues Dr. Tingting Reid and Amdad Ahmed Awsaf presented initial findings from a pilot test of this instrument.
This work builds on efforts from a project Dr. Sunbury presented with us previously during our online workshop: STEM Identity, STEM Career Interest, and Participation in Out-of-School Time Activities: https://www.nisenet.org/catalog/online-workshop-recording-stem-identity-stem-career-interest-and-participation-out-school
Presenters included:
Dr. Susan Sunbury, Educational Researcher and Project Manager, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
Dr. Tingting Reid, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Harvard University, Harvard College Observatory
Amdad Ahmed Awsaf, Graduate Research Assistant, Florida International University, Talking Science
