Inclusive R&D Infrastructures: Perspective, Context, and Communicentric Bias Thursday, April 11, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm Pennsylvania Convention Center, Level 200 - 202AB
Chair: James L. Moore III (National Science Foundation) Presenters: Jessica Heppen (American Institutes for Research), Na'ilah Suad Nasir (Spencer Foundation), Roberto J. Rodríguez (U.S. Department of Education), Matthew Soldner (Institute for Educational Sciences) Participant: Edmund W. Gordon (Teachers College, Columbia University)
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education research and development (R&D), fostering inclusive infrastructures has emerged as a critical challenge and a strategic imperative. This panel delves into the nuances of creating R&D ecosystems that acknowledge and actively embrace variation in cultural, perspective, and context. Panelists will explore a range of topics, including the importance of integrating variation in perspectives regarding cognition, human development, and disciplinary affordances into R&D infrastructures, and the impact of such approaches on innovation and problem-solving. The session will provide insights into practical approaches for mitigating communicentric bias, facilitating more equitable participation in R&D activities, and ensuring that research outputs are relevant and accessible to a broad spectrum of stakeholders through knowledge mobilization and engagement. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of how we can collectively build R&D infrastructures that are truly inclusive, thereby enhancing the societal relevance and impact of our research endeavors.
Toward a Research & Development Roadmap: Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Analytics, and Assessment in the Service of Learning Friday, April 12, 3:05 pm to 4:35 pm Pennsylvania Convention Center, Level 200 - Room 202AB
Moderator: Eric Tucker (Gordon Commission Study Group) Presenters: LaVerne Evans Srinivasan (Carnegie Corporation of New York), E.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) Research Infrastructures & STEM Talent Systems Saturday, April 13, 3:05 pm to 4:35 pm Pennsylvania Convention Center, Level 200 - Room 202AB
Chair: Brenda Allen (Lincoln University of Pennsylvania) Presenters: M. C. Brown (Thurgood Marshall College Fund), Anne Marie Núñez (The University of Texas at El Paso), Timothy E. Sams (SUNY Old Westbury) Participants: Edmund W. Gordon (Teachers College, Columbia University)
Developing a strong capacity in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) to engage in research and knowledge production in the education and social science can enable strong alignment of the educational mission and purpose of these critical institutions within the K-12 ecosystem. This panel will explore an interconnected, varied, and broadly applicable set of approaches to ensure education R&D is more effective and responsive to the needs of all learners by expanding funding and supports to a wider array of institutions and researchers, growing a more diverse pipeline of R&D professionals, and better incorporating a broader range of communities’ assets, needs, expertise, and perspectives. Expanding and strengthening the role HBCUs, MSIs, and TCUs play education R&D ecosystem is a critical, long-term project—as is building, strengthening, and sustaining the institutional and human capacity necessary to take full advantage of new opportunities.
