4Miller Scholar Presentation: Visions of Futures Past: Developing
Critical Multimodal Literacies through Narrative Afrofuturist Design.
Michael Dando PhD
Summary: The Miller Scholar 2020 presentation
investigates how secondary students deploy critical
multimodal literacies to interrogate texts and decon-
struct unequal social structures through speculative
storytelling. Drawing from Critical Literacy Studies and
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, this presentation ex-
plores how comics and graphic narratives can be used
to (re)present and co-create meaning and to foster identity formation.
Specifically, we explore how an Afrofuturist perspective engages critical
imaginaries, draws from personal backgrounds, and supports students
in reflecting on and critiquing social production of race, gender, and
class. We suggest possible avenues for teachers and students to create
counternarratives that resist the structural practices that diminish their
voices and their literacy development. The presentation will include a
Q&A with research partners.

6Panel: Making it Count – Teaching for Good in Uncertain Times
Summary:
The coronavirus pandemic has upended the personal and professional
lives of millions of people, including students, educators, and educa-
tion researchers. At all levels of education, instructors, and institutional
leaders are facing an unprecedented challenge of trying to ensure that
high-quality, equitable teaching and learning continues under rapidly
changing and unpredictable conditions.
Join us for a conversation about engaging in meaningful teaching in
challenging times. Panelists will share their reflections on the impact
and long-term consequences of Covid-19 on education and learning
and areas of inquiry and pedagogy. Panelists will address priorities and
planning for education research during a time of deep uncertainty and
dislocation, sharing insights on how the education community can col-
laboratively contribute to the design of Covid and post-Covid education
and learning.
Panelists: Dr. Brittany Williams – SoE, Higher Ed, Dr. Rachel Friedensen –
SoE, Higher Ed, Dr. Christopher Lehman – CLA, Ethnic and Women’s
Studies
7Panel: Equity By Design at SCSU
Summary:
This session will highlight Equity By Design, a methodology to under-
stand and address academic disparities in the classroom and move
towards equity-minded practices, and its implementation at SCSU. This
initiative stems from Minnesota State’s Equity 2030 commitment and
contributes to our It’s Time priorities. We see this work as ongoing, im-
pacting all departments and disciplines.
Presenters: SCSU Equity By Design Team. Panelists: SCSU Equity By De-
sign Team (Mary Clifford, Sue Haller, Nick Haverhals, Stephanie Houdek,
Kyoko Kishimoto, Anthony Kunkel, Elizabeth Kalinowski Ort, Melissa
Prescott, Iyekiyapiwin Darlene St. Clair, Ibrahim Soumare, Nicholas B.
Taylor)
Panel: Interdisciplinary Panel on Best Practices for Undergraduate Stu-
dent Research Mentoring: What has worked for us.
Summary:
One of the 5 principal IFO pillars is Student Development; however, most
faculty receive little to no formal training in mentoring students. This
panel discussion is intended to provide a grounding and open discussion
for participating faculty in best practices for student mentoring across
disciplines. It is intended to include a range of mentoring activities, from
traditional co-curricular experiences in undergraduate research, class-
room project-based learning / (CURE), and summer research and intern-
ships (SURE). Faculty will share and discuss challenges and successes
with students in their own research mentoring activities across several
disciplines.
Panelists: Kelly Branam Macauley (ANTH), Nate Bruender(CHEM), Marina
Cetkov- ic-Cvrlje (BIO), Amanda Hemmesch (PSY), and John Sinko (PHYS).
8Panel: Assessment in the Age of Chegg
Summary:
In the spring of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic transformed looming
academic integrity concerns into a full crisis. Fomented by online re-
sources such as Chegg, the value of tools instructors have depended on
for practice and assessment since the dawn of education, evaporated.
Attempts to battle the crisis with increased security and oversight have
only served to drive a wedge between students and educators. The pan-
el will briefly summarize our frustrations, but the primary focus will be
implementing creative solutions.
Panelists: John Mirth (MME), John Sinko (PHYS), Bruce Jacobson (BIO-
CHEM), Melissa Hanzsek-Brill (MATH), Sarah Petitto (CHEM), Moderat-
ed by Nathan Bruender (CHEM)
Panel: Intentional Belonging Strategies to Foster Positive Relationships
Summary:
Come to hear a variety of belonging strategies that colleagues across
campus are applying to foster students’ sense of belonging and to share
belonging strategies that you are practicing.
Panelists: Dale Buske (MATH), Rochelle Dyer (TDEV), Coleman Henry
(AHS), Shawn Kakuk (MSS/SLD), Tracy Ore (SOC), Sarah Petitito (CHEM),
Mary Pfohl (SW), Geoffrey Tabakin (UC), Phil Thorson (IT), Mike Uran (FIN
AID), Surkel Yousafzai (President Student Gov) Moderated by Dr. Feng-
