Amplifying your Voice: Infusing Culture and Self into your Writing
Monday, February 3, 2025, 4:00-6:00 PM ET
Tuesday, February 4, 2025; 4:00-6:00 PM ET
Many STEM professionals are trained to write their work in a “scientific” fashion, separating self from their work. However, we must recognize the influence and power that comes with our experiences and perspectives and thus seek to infuse that into our work. Join LARIG and the Graduate Student Committee in this deep dive in finding and integrating your Voz and cultura in your writing. This two-part event will begin with a webinar that will cover topics related to infusing culture and self into your writing. Discussion of non-traditional approaches and methodologies will be shared, pushing attendees to think differently about their current and future projects. The second part of this event will be a “writing cafe” style zoom gathering where participants seeking to apply these skills can join to work with their peers and seek feedback. Different breakout rooms will be set so that those looking for quiet writing time can still have it, while also having a structured time to share out on progress and ideas.

International Grant Success Stories: Unlocking International Collaborative Research Opportunities
Tuesday, February 18, 9-10 AM EST
This event aims to explore and promote international collaboration in science education through research grant proposals. Invited speakers will present opportunities for international collaboration and share their experiences with funded projects. The event will feature presentations from researchers who have successfully secured grants for their collaborative projects, highlighting the opportunities, insights, and challenges they encountered. In this event, we invite people familiar with opportunities for international collaboration in our field that can give an overview of various research grant opportunities available for international collaboration and share their insights into how to create international collaborations and successful proposals. Also, we would like to invite case studies of funded projects, in other words, presentations by researchers involved in international collaborative projects funded through research grants. These presentations will include discussion on the impact of these projects on advancing science education and fostering global partnerships. Participants can engage with the presenters about ideas, strategies, and best practices for writing successful grant proposals and managing international collaborations.
