“They Look and Act Like Me!”: Narrative and Identity-Based Interventions to Promote STEM Engagement

Annenberg’s Education Policy Workshop Series is an hour-long “works in progress” seminar centered on empirical research related to education and education policy. Seminars are typical academic presentations intended for a broad academic audience. Speakers come from a variety of disciplinary traditions and we seek to be inclusive to a broad, multi-disciplinary audience.

We invite faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and research staff from across the university who are interested in empirical research in education to participate.
