30.019 - Division J Fireside Chat: What Can We Do? Creating Actionable Research That Promotes Equal Educational Opportunity

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to facilitate a dialogue on (1) how we, as scholars of higher education, conduct research that is actionable in increasing equal educational opportunity, (2) the inherent challenges of creating equal educational opportunities, and (3) the implications of those challenges for students, faculty members, and administrators across institutional types. These topics will inform the discussion on identifying ways to enact our scholarly research findings to address the extension of equal educational opportunity and the roles of various institutional stakeholders involved in that process.
