Exploration by Aris Winger

Some are easier than others for me to get my head around. BUT in discussing things with my group, we did come up with some really cool insights about all 6 of them (even though we still find some overlap between them).

Some are easier for me!

I understand Windows & Mirrors, Ownership Stewardship better

Overlap between Ourstories/Theirstories and Windows/Mirrors. How to differentiate?

identifying existing practices in all 6 areas. learning and sharing from each other.

It seems that some are more conventionally accepted by academics like "ownership", but other dimensions are more radical and could get push back from students or other educators

Some practices that we do overlap with some of the 6 components.

additional resources

Are there additional resources to learn more and go deeper?

Authority and Power as Dominant Paradigms in STEM that limit student agency

mcover14_1 — 2025-09-05 22:35:32 UTC

More educators need to self-reflect on the need for authority and domination in their teaching. Also, grades are problem.

How much am I already doing?

I do things, but is it "rehumanizing" because it's not linked to a "culture"?

2025-09-05 22:35:58 UTC

Really want to spend more time with these dimensions to internalize and discriminate between better. Lots of linkages as well.

Creation and Ownership

bobygallagher — 2025-09-05 22:35:59 UTC

This is something that probably our students do need. This can be attached to other things such as ourstories/their stories to recognize the value of their own group.

2025-09-05 22:36:54 UTC

We are all already doing things in each of these areas even without realizing it. Much room for improvement though.

Dimension interaction and boundaries

2025-09-05 22:39:24 UTC

Creation and Ownership seems to be well defined as opposed the body dimension.

I'm so glad to be here. Just this couple of hours has given me so many inspired ideas to look at implementing in my classes THIS semester. :)

important comments in zoom chat about gendered expectations or bias for faculty

engagement

2025-09-05 22:40:39 UTC

I think what stands out is trying to really engage students. These are some ways to do that...

Which dimensions translate better to large classes? Some things only work if there is participation, which can be tough in big classes.
