    <div><strong>Abstract</strong></div>
    <div>"This chapter reviews recent qualitative studies on personalized learning in middle/secondary school settings to analyze the role of culture in how this concept is enacted and researched. Personalized learning is posited as a pedagogical approach that aims to revolutionize schooling and challenge educational inequity by foregrounding learners’ agency in what and how they learn, tailoring pedagogy and its purpose to learners’ unique interests, needs, and abilities. Given the strong emphasis of the approach on the uniquenesses of the persons who are learning, our analysis interrogates the discourse on culture in studies on personalized learning and extrapolates how this discourse informs problem formulation, design and logic, sources of evidence, analysis and interpretation, and implications for practice."</div>

    <div><strong>Abstract</strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>The COVID-19 pandemic has inarguably exacerbated longstanding disparities that undermine the economic mobility and integration of immigrant parents in the United States and their children’s prospects for success in school and beyond. These include critical two-generational barriers disproportionately experienced by immigrant families, such as poverty, limited English proficiency, digital access and device challenges, linguistic isolation, and low levels of parental formal education. These disparities sit at the intersection of K-12, early childhood, adult education, and social services systems where they are largely unaddressed, despite expectations that each system play a major role in addressing them.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This webcast will explore new findings from an analysis conducted by the Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, which compares key sociodemographic characteristics of immigrant and U.S.-born parents of young and school-age children and underscores their two-generational implications. Speakers will examine disparities evident in the analysis and discuss potential ways to incorporate equity-sensitive measures associated with them in the policy and program frameworks of key systems, with an eye to achieving more responsive and effective service designs and improving equity and access more generally for families facing multiple disparities.</div>

    <div><span>Mentor: Fernando Tormos Aponte, Political Science</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span><span>After a summer of an important racial reckoning in the United States, there is an increased awareness about the consequences of media coverage and  portrayals of racial dissent. The way that the media portrays protest events shapes how the public understands and perceives those events. The use of insensitive or even implicitly racist messaging among media outlets to portray racial justice events has an impact on public discourse on racial justice. This research uses articles from the Baltimore Sun’s coverage of the Baltimore Uprising of 2015 to examine media portrayals of h Freddie Gray, who died in the hands of Baltimore police, and the subsequent events of the Uprising. I use grounded theory qualitative coding techniques to identify specific framings that connote implicit biases in the media and used these to observe how the Baltimore Sun reported on the racial justice movement, specifically Black Lives Matter during this time period.</span></span></div>
