STEM conference 2019: Building an inclusive undergraduate research module in one hour

In this interactive workshop STEM professionals will be encouraged to adopt a holistic and collaborative approach to building an inclusive undergraduate research module. By bridging themes that arise in the context of widening participation with undergraduate research (two increasingly important areas in UK HE) through this workshop STEM professionals will have a forum for sharing best practice experimenting with collaborative design and exploring how they can better integrate underrepresented students into their scientific communities. Participants will leave with ideas for initiatives that will build underrepresented students’ social and cultural capital and increase their retention progression and success in STEM.
