Conference Overview

Living With(in) Borders: immigration, indigeneity, and education

Immigration is a topic of great concern around the world. From borders and how they are constructed and enforced, to the migrant crisis resulting from increased poverty, famine, and war, people have reacted with both openness and care as well as with hostility. According to Gloria Anzaldúa, borders are “where the Third World grates against the first and bleeds” (1987/2012). Often silenced or marginalized are indigenous peoples and the diverse knowledge(s) from around the world, forcedly moved from and in some cases still living on ancestral lands.

The conference theme, Living With(in) Borders: Immigration, Indigeneity, and Education, invites researchers from a wide range of disciplines to examine the following questions: How can researchers and practitioners contribute to more nuanced understandings of immigration, indigeneity, and education? How do we teach the historical record and ongoing issues of enslavement, dominance, and forced migration? How can we “speak back to manifest destinies” (Calderón, 2014)? In this conference we will discuss ways we can talk and act productively and sensitively about immigration, indigeneity, and education.

We invite proposals from diverse perspectives that address the conference theme. Such topics may include but are not limited to:

  • Student activism and immigrant justice.
  • Post-colonial and Indigenous perspectives towards decolonizing research.
  • Land Education and Place-Based Education.
  • Immigration and language rights.
  • Tribal sovereignty.
  • Teaching immigration and indigeneity in K-12 and higher education.
  • Allies in education and immigrants and indigenous peoples.

Curriculum Vitae

Research

Dr. Molly Kelton aims to contribute to a world in which all members of society feel engaged and empowered to think deeply, expansively, and creatively about mathematics and STEM. Broadly, Dr. Kelton’s work seeks to critically examine and productively expand what counts as mathematics and STEM in contemporary society, with the goal of envisioning a more expansive and equitable mathematics education. Her research investigates mathematics learning in out-of-school time and across formal and informal environments, spanning K-12 classrooms, museums, maker spaces, and after-school clubs. She has contributed to research and design of several major mathematics exhibitions, including Math Moves! and Taping Shape. Across diverse settings, she also examines the role of physical movement and embodied experience in mathematical thinking and learning.

Dr. Kelton currently leads the NIH-funded Health Education through Arts-based Learning (HEAL) Collaborative. Learn more about HEAL here.

Dr. Kelton served as co-Principal Investigator of the Informal Mathematics Collaborative, a partnership among university mathematics educators, art and science museums, and community organizations serving under-represented youth. The Informal Mathematics Collaborative is funded by the National Science Foundation and has contributed to the design and research of numerous innovative public programs and exhibitions that blend mathematics, science, and the arts. This work advances current efforts to understand the educational potential of learning environments that integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM).

Teaching

Dr. Kelton serves and teaches in multiple teacher education, master’s, and doctoral programs in the department, including the Elementary Education undergraduate program, Master in Teaching program, Middle-level Mathematics Endorsement program, and the Mathematics & Science Education PhD program.

About the College of Education:

The College of Education is one of WSU’s oldest colleges, with its first dean taking the helm in 1918. Since that time, COE has been known primarily as a teaching and learning college, as well as an educational leadership college. The majority of certified K-12 superintendents in Washington, in fact, earned their certification through COE.

However, COE is very much a modern college, with degrees in athletic training, kinesiology, and sport management. In fact, our undergraduate kinesiology degree is one of the largest degrees, by enrollment.

Retrospective

We love remembering the good times!

Brittni and Riley Myklebust
Brittni Willis interviewing Pullman Police officer Riley Myklebust, as part of Education Eclipse. Riley is now a stellar deputy within the King County Sheriff’s Office :).

Kyla did so well working with Chappy in Fall 2016 that she was asked to come back for Spring 2017.

Trevor Havard was a great intern. He was capable of just grabbing a camera and heading to college events!

Katie Merrick in studio
Katie Merrick working in our video studio.

This internship is nothing if not fun.

Sometimes, there are just no adequate words to describe the interns.

Our broadcasting/digital media intern will definitely spend some time on the mic.

The toys we get to play with are no joke. This is our new Blackmagic 6K Cinema Camera.

Here’s the deal: we liked David Blehm but he was also a Broncos fan :(, so…

Will Matthews, our WSU ROAR videographer/editor, shoots the shooting!

Ivy Schank getting ready to deliver the college news on updatED, a weekly program.

This is either really cool or really embarrassing…

Other duties as assigned.

On any given day, our office becomes transformed!

Agents of Change Application


  • To express interest in participating as an Agent of Change, please fill out the following application.


  • BRIEFLY, using plain talk (PLEASE!), explain what your research is about (enough for someone to understand, but not so much that it takes you a long time to write it up).




  • FYI, the female shirts are a true female cut and they run really small, like... smaller than you'd think. Females may choose a men's shirt if they'd like.

#AgentsOfChange


It’s our passion to make a difference that drives us!

Although we often celebrate and recognize the past, if you are someone who wants to make sure the present and future are even better, and are currently working toward that goal, then you’re an “agent of change.”
Introducing, our college’s Agents of Change campaign!

Goal: Showcase our amazing people like you, whether your faculty, staff, students, alumni… or just a supporter of our college and the work we’re doing.

Why: Because our folks rock! We want to highlight you and the reason you do what you do.

How: We’re going to showcase you through photos, video, blog posts, etc! We’ll put them online, and on social media with the hashtag #AgentsOfChange and hope you’ll share these, as well.

Wanna share why you’re an Agent of Change?
1Register to be an Agent of Change
2Script a 30-second statement about what makes you an agent of change. Sit down with our Marketing and Communications team to record this.
3Agree to do some form of communication that would better connect you to students and alumni and help push your work out. This can be a blog, being a podcast guest, etc. You can use Marketing and Communications to come up with a plan that plays to your strengths.
4Social mediacize the content all over the place (is "mediacize" a word?)! Use the hashtag #AgentsOfChange.
5After your post, if you're in Pullman, come get a cool T-shirt that says #AgentsOfChange on it. If you're not in the area, email us your address so we can send one to you!
