SUMMARY:Learning Café: A Community Engaged Scholarship Series with Nicole (Nikki) Barry
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Learning Café series highlighting the community engaged work of our faculty and graduate students. Listen\, learn and engage with the work of our school. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Nicole (Nikki) Barry\, PhD.\, Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice Education \n\n\n\nCommunity-based research design (CBDR) is an approach to research that prioritizes community goals\, voices\, desires\, needs\, and perspectives. While many researchers and community members are interested in utilizing this research model to center community strengths\, build capacity\, and even nation-build\, it is not always clear how to integrate community participation into each aspect of the research process. In particular\, data analysis and interpretation may seem more challenging when incorporating community participation. Community participation in data analysis is important to ensure that data is defined appropriately\, validly measured\, managed correctly\, and interpreted to achieve the goals of the community and the research team. This session will explore the importance of including community participation in the data analytic process\, create a space to discuss data and analysis broadly\, engage participants in hands-on analysis and interpretation\, and share results from an ongoing CBDR project exploring how culture affects our thinking about ecosystems. \n\n\n\n\n\nFuture Dates \n\n\n\nWinter 2025 \n\n\n\n\nKaren Hunter Quartz – February 11\n\n\n\nThuy Do Vang – Winter Quarter\n\n\n\nAnanda Marin – Winter Quarter\n\n\n\n\nSpring 2025 \n\n\n\n\nJulissa Muñiz – Spring Quarter\n\n\n\nCinthya Salazar – Spring Quarter\n\n\n\nMelissa Villa-Nicolas – Spring Quarter\n\n\n\nChris Jadallah – Spring Quarter

SUMMARY:A Civil Rights Agenda for California's Next Quarter Century - An Education Research and Policy Briefing
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Civil Rights Project is celebrating its first quarter century by taking a critical look forward at the upcoming generation—not at the history of civil rights challenges\, debates over older policies\, or at prior victories. We are focused on what California needs in the next quarter century to address the challenges facing our rapidly changing society. Our research series\, “A Civil Rights Agenda for California’s Next Quarter Century\,” harnesses the skills of innovative thinkers from various disciplines to think systematically and deeply about how California is transforming and what the implications are for the future of racial justice. This December 5th we will share new research and engage in discussion\, charting a new path forward in an anti-civil rights era.  \n\n\n\nWe hope to see you there. Register at the link. \n\n\n\nLive Stream Link Forthcoming

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: Social Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH) with Dr. Christine Ong and Seul Lee
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next IS Colloquium on December 5\, 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the Reading Room\, 3340 Moore Hall. There will be refreshments to follow.  \n\n\n\nSocial Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH)  \n\n\n\nDr. Christine Ong and Seul Lee \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nSocial Media and the Spread of Hate or SMASH is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers\, educators\, and policy advocates from UCLA’s School of Education and Information Studies\, the Semel Healthy Campus Initiative (HCI)\, and an independent non-profit partner\, the Organization for Social Media Safety (OFSMS). SMASH is funded by UCLA’s Initiative to Study Hate.   \n\n\n\nOur primary goal is to explore how young people encounter hate speech online\, their responses to it\, and ideas for making social media safe for everyone. Our study incorporates various methods including survey data gathered during school assemblies and in-depth conversations with young people about their own experiences using social media.  \n\n\n\nIn the past two years\, SMASH has gathered survey data from over 24\,000 students in grades 5-12 across 94 schools nationwide. Our findings have informed OFSMS program improvements.  Our research has also been shared by OFSMS partners in legislative testimony related to potential harms on social media and broader advocacy efforts at the local\, state and national level.  SMASH results may also inform future development of educational resources and interventions\, such as activities to promote kindness\, empathy\, resiliency\, and critical thinking around social media use. \n\n\n\nBios \n\n\n\nSeul Lee is a doctoral candidate in Information Studies at UCLA\, holding a B.A. in Management Information Systems\, an M.A. in Data Science\, and a graduate certificate in Digital Humanities. Her research interests involve investigating the intricate landscape of information biases\, algorithmic subjectivities\, and the pivotal role of digital literacy education in fostering a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of biases behind the presentation of online information. She has been working as a graduate student researcher for the Social Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH) team to combat online hate speech by collaborating with middle and high school students in the US. \n\n\n\nDr. Christine Ong is a research scientist at the National Center for Research on Evaluation\, Standards and Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA. Dr. Ong has extensive experience managing research and evaluation studies that involve multi-institution partnerships. She is project director of the Social Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH) study\, an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers\, educators\, and policy advocates from UCLA’s School of Education and Information Studies and the non-profit Organization for Social Media Safety and funded by UCLA’s Initiative to Study Hate. This work includes an examination of features of social media apps that may help fuel hateful content adolescents encounter. She also serves as an external evaluator for two NSF grants that connect to computing education\, Computational Thinking Equity Project (CTEP) and Researching Equity and Antiracist Learning (REAL-CS). In addition\, she is part of the California Teacher Education Research and Improvement Network (CTERIN) and sister study\, California Preparation Pathway Project (CP3\, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)\, charged with constructing and enhancing teacher-level data related to new teachers’ preparation\, placement and retention in the state.

SUMMARY:Early-Career Scholar Series Presenter: Dr. Chris Jadallah and Scholar Facilitator Dr. Teresa L. McCarty
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Education Early-Career Scholar Series invites Department faculty\, staff\, and students to come together to engage with early-career scholars and their research\, and build community over a Department lunch at noon following the session. At each session\, an early-career scholar will either present their research or workshop a paper or study in progress facilitated by an advanced-career scholar. \n\n\n\nThis monthly event strives to foster community and connection within our Department\, come together to learn more about our early-career scholars\, and support their work. Coffee and refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Dr. Jadallah will present a recently completed study with educators of color mapping the sociopolitical commitments that guide their pedagogies in farms\, gardens\, and other land-based settings (Jadallah\, 2024). He will also share plans for an upcoming study extending this work in partnership with young people in the San Fernando Valley using oral history approaches to document their own families’ connections to and relationships with land. He welcomes comments\, questions\, and feedback. \n\n\n\nDr. Jadallah is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice in the Department of Education at UCLA\, where he co-designs\, implements\, and studies learning environments where people come together to learn in\, with\, and from the natural world. Across his projects\, he endeavors to foreground the knowledge of non-dominant communities as an asset for both learning and socio-ecological changemaking\, operating from the premise that these communities’ everyday practices provide fertile ground from which to anchor the work of building more just and sustainable futures. \n\n\n\nUpcoming Series Dates: \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 17\, 2025\n\n\n\nFebruary 14\, 2025\n\n\n\nMarch 14\, 2025\n\n\n\nApril 11\, 2025\n\n\n\nMay 9\, 2025\n\n\n\nJune 6\, 2025
