Dr. Mica Estrada - Transforming Leadership Through Kindness & Community
2024-10-16 13:00 - 14:00 | Zoom
We have many opportunities to change patterns of exclusion and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). With this in mind, Dr. Estrada will describe findings from her research program in which she has longitudinally tracked and examined what types of mentorship, training experiences, and supports that result in students integrating into their professional fields and persisting in STEM career pathways. Her research focuses on the experiences of persons historically excluded because of ethnicity and race. Further, she will offer practical exercises that educators and institutions can use to increase kindness cues that affirm social inclusion in our daily lives.

Learn how these students affirmed their higher education aspirations and came to believe their dreams could become a reality, leading to the healing of their bodymindspirit. This webinar will help higher education professionals learn to better understand Latina undergraduate experiences with oppression and their aspirations, giving them knowledge and skills to create programs and policies that ameliorate the struggles they face and support their dreams.
