You are cordially invited to attend the School of Engineering’s First Engineering Education Workshop Series. This is the sixth of six workshops framed on diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering education. The overarching goal of this project is to provide a mechanism for enhancing the climate, culture, and training of educators in STEM fields via a series of targeted seminars framed on providing inclusive and accessible engineering education pedagogy and practices through a collaboration between the School of Engineering and Graduate School of Education.

Topic:

Speaking up in STEM: Investigating the self-advocacy and classroom experiences of undergraduates with ADHD and specific learning disorders

Location, Date & Time:

Zoom Meeting - October 06, 2022, 4:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Open to Faculty, Staff, Students and the Public

About the Speaker:

Dr. Mariel Pfeifer is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Georgia. She earned her Ph.D. in Plant Biology at the University of Georgia where she received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and an ARCS Foundation award. As part of her dissertation, she conducted both bench and education research. Her education research focused on the self-advocacy experiences of STEM undergraduates with ADHD and specific learning disabilities. Prior to starting graduate school, Mariel worked as a disability services coordinator. It was in this role that she first became interested in self-advocacy. Now, she investigates science identity in research trainees and plans to continue to study self-advocacy in STEM undergraduates.
