Centering Cultural and Artistic Practice in Scientific Design

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Cultivating equitable education systems requires anchoring our research practices in the ways of knowing and development that are important in the communities we serve, and seeking to understand the contexts in which they occur. This presidential session features scholars whose work utilizes scientific discovery to sustain cultural and artistic practice and/or explores innovative ways to make the knowledge thus produced accessible to multiple communities. The goal of this session is to highlight ways in which researchers’ membership within a culture/community and mastery of its practices can help us rethink scientific design, as well as inform our understanding of the shared constructs upon which equitable education systems can be created and sustained.
