This talk invites attendees into the universe Dr. Kat Stephens-Peace (she\/her) is actively constructing as a higher education faculty member and researcher, Caribbean research methodologist, arts-based research methodologist, and accessibility-focused intellectual. Rather than present a linear career narrative, Dr. KSP will offer a map of research agendas, theoretical commitments, and methodological orientations that do not sit nearly alongside one another so much as they orbit, intersect, and illuminate. Drawing upon her grounding in Black Disability Studies, Literature, Critical and Intersectional ADHD Studies, and creative qualitative inquiry, Dr. KSP will trace the intellectual and personal coordinates that have shaped how she sees higher education, who she researches with, and who she researches for, and accessibility\u2019s place as not only a focus of her work, but a philosophy that runs throughout.<br>&nbsp;<br>This talk will provide an honest account of navigating academia as a multi-passionate faculty member who refuses to collapse into one lane or frame. Attendees will encounter the throughlines connecting her research projects, understand what her work contributes to while challenging the field of higher education. Dr. KSP will share the intellectual traditions she draws on, as an interdisciplinary, disability focused, higher education researcher. This talk is an open door into a universe still in formation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column27779_7d7d5e-dc > .kt-inside-inner-col{display:flex;}.kadence-column27779_7d7d5e-dc >

2026<\/strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> <\/strong>Advocates of open science have aspired to make research more transparent, accessible, and efficient through practices such as open-access publishing, preregistration, data sharing, and materials sharing. In this presentation, we will discuss challenges in research that have given rise to the recent open-science movement (e.g., publications behind paywalls, low rates of reproducibility), key open practices that seek to address those challenges, and how to engage in those practices as education researchers. We will discuss pros and cons of each open practice.<strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bio:<\/strong> <\/strong>Bryan Cook is a professor at the University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development. His work focuses on facilitating and examining the use of open science and crowdsourcing in education research, researching research (i.e., meta-research) in education, and identification of evidence-based practices in special education. Recent accomplishments include working with research partners across the country as PI on a crowdsourced replication study funded by IES investigating teaching science facts to elementary students with high-incidence disabilities, receiving a $2.5 million leadership grant (in partnership with Temple University) from the U.S. Department of Education to train doctoral students with a focus on identifying and implementing evidence-based practices for students with disabilities, and co-authoring an article in Educational Researcher examining questionable research practices among education researchers (Makel et al., 2021) that was featured in an online Forbes article.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-27779_9ae753-49 .kt-block-spacer{height:32px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-27779_9ae753-49 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-27779_9ae753-49\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27\"]{text-align:left;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27779_95cfde-27\"><strong>Conceptualizing STEM Education: From Discipline to (the) Learning Science(s) | Dec. 3, 2025<\/strong> <br><br><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Many different stakeholders\u2013 ranging practicing scientists to educators to policymakers\u2013 have sought to conceptualize what STEM education means and how effective educational practices can support STEM learning. In this talk, three common models for representing STEM education are presented and discussed. Disciplinary-based educational research draws on perspectives from within STEM disciplines and asks how effective educational strategies can support outcomes important to the field. The science of broadening participation seeks to ensure access to STEM learning for all students and that pathways to STEM careers are widely available. Finally, the learning sciences have often drawn on insights from an array of diverse disciplines to demonstrate how effective instructional practices and evidence-based models of student learning can shape outcomes that matter across STEM fields (&amp; beyond).&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bio: <\/strong>Justin Dimmel is associate dean for academics and student engagement in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development, where he also serves as an associate professor of mathematics education and instructional technology in the School of Learning and Teaching. Dr. Dimmel has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in teacher education. He is the founder and director of the Immersive Mathematics in Rendered Environments (IMRE) Lab, which designs virtual and augmented reality math and science learning environments, and investigates how VR and AR technologies can transform STEM education. In addition, he led a team that developed the SunRule, an interactive sculpture that harnesses the rays of the sun to help users explore multiplication and division. The project was chosen for 91¸£Àû\u2019s MIRTA accelerator, a program designed to advance research along the path to commercialization, turning lab innovations into real-world products and services with public benefit.

By highlighting variations in both definition and operationalization of the term \u201cdisability\u201d and related constructs, it becomes clear that disability is part of a complex web of meaning with clear implications both for daily life and for academic research. Moreover, by demonstrating the varying ways we can and should conceptualize disability, this presentation will highlight how inattention to various facets of disability experience can be understood as a key feature of normal social science. The presentation closes by arguing that this inattention has real and lasting consequences for how and when disabled people can receive diagnoses, think about disability as a feature of their identity, and experience constructed environments.&nbsp;<br><strong>Presenter Bio:<\/strong> Ezekiel \u201cZeke\u201d Kimball is Professor and Dean of the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development.
