For undergraduate Madeline Howorth, research is in her blood. The Center for Undergraduate Research AY2223 fellowship award winner remembers watching her mother study, do homework and perform research. \u201cGrowing up in Pennsylvania as my mom pursued her PhD studies full-time, I was constantly surrounded by eager education faculty, used textbooks, and an endless supply of coffee and late nights, sitting with her while we did our very different homework on the couch.\u201d She believes being surrounded by research, and the excitement of her mother and her colleagues led to her own path into research.<\/span><\/p>\n

Howorth\u2019s area of focus is on diversity, equity, and inclusion. She examined \u201cthe barriers faced and strategies employed by one local school district aiming to create a more inclusive and equitable campus environment for all student identities.\u201d The goal of the collaboration between the local school department and the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development is to \u201ccreate synergy in and around the improvement efforts being implemented within the [school department] and the research expertise, teaching practices, and service of 91¸£Àû faculty members that can help address systemic issues within the district.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy advice to others going into research is to not be afraid to be wrong,\u201d says Howorth. She says \u201cnegative\u201d or \u201cunexpected\u201d results often lead to other relevant and even more meaningful questions. She says that working with her faculty mentor, Rebecca Buchanan, on this research has given her \u201cthe opportunity to grow and develop professionally in a way that\u201d classes alone cannot. Howorth says that \u201cespecially for students, embracing what you don\u2019t know can be a humbling and necessary step towards personal and professional success\u2026of course, it’s one I\u2019m still working on, myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
