Abstract

This panel discussion session moderated by Dr. Fiona Hinds aims to explore the narratives and experiences of Latin American and Muslim women in the field of educational measurement, and a liberation model for re-imagining an equitable system for the measurement industry that is inclusive of racial and gender equity, local culture, and language. The presenters: Dr. Shelia Lallmamode, Dr. Xaviera Gonzalez-Wegener, Dr. Leslie Rosales and Maria Hamdani, MSc will illustrate the findings of qualitative research studies and provide insight into the intersectionality of identities and experiences of Latin American and Muslim women to uncover challenges and barriers.
