VPTL Talk: Hidden inequities in active learning classrooms: How groups of students are differentially impacted by active learning
VPTL Talk co-sponsored by WISE Ventures and the Department of Biology
SARA BROWNELL, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Brownell will discuss recent work examining the experiences of women and LGBTQIA students in active learning classrooms, including small group discussions. This work will hopefully help instructors to consider structuring their in-class activities in ways that promote equity, which may require more purposeful attention to alleviating the current differential student experiences with peer discussions.

MIKE LEVINE, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
The Levine lab has studied mechanisms responsible for switching genes on and off in the early Drosophila embryo for over 30 years. These studies led to the characterization of the eve stripe 2 enhancer, short-range repression, and the regulation of long-range enhancer-promoter interactions. For nearly 20 years they have also studied the gene networks underlying the development of a simple protovertebrate, the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis. These studies led to the identification of rudimentary tissues for key innovations of the vertebrate “new head”, including cranial neural crest, neurogenic placodes, and the second heart field.

CHRISTINE JACOBS-WAGNER, YALE UNIVERSITY
The Jacobs-Wagner group studies the temporal and spatial mechanisms involved in bacterial physiology, with emphasis on chromosome dynamics, cell division, cell cycle regulation, cell morphogenesis and RNA biology. Their primary model organisms are Caulobacter crescentus, Escherichia coli and the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi.
