  mentoring_philosophy: 'I am interested in working with emerging scholars who are motivated to learn more about how education, and in particular art education, can intentionally support young people''s civic engagement or, in other words, their ability to change the world. Participation in this project, which is grant-funded and has a team of three faculty and two doctoral research assistants, will allow mentees to become familiar with the structure and processes of a qualitative research project. In joining the research team, mentees will have the opportunity to work with local teachers and observe the curriculum development process. In parallel, they will be invited to contribute reflections, emerging analyses, and suggestions with fellow research team members. My mentoring philosophy is invitational in nature: I am happy to facilitate a mentee''s observation and administrative assistance within our project, but need feedback and engagement from the mentee to assist you turning your participation into a research project. As individual interests emerge though participation, I enjoy working with mentees on the best ways to tailor their work for the benefit of the project and their own goals as emerging scholars. '

  overall_research_project_description: 'This UROP research position will contribute to the grant-funded project: Teaching Tallahassee, which kicks off in July 2023. In this project, the research team will work with 12 art, history, and civics teachers from across Leon County, to research and explore the rich history of the area. During the project, the research team will work with the teachers on designing and drafting individual curriculum projects that use the history of Tallahassee to encourage K-12 students to think and make about their community history. This project draws on place-based education and positions learning inside of local communities, cultures, experiences, and people. This model uses local places as a point of entry for students to learn about a range of subjects, for this project we posit that civic education happens through history, civics, and art. A main objective of this project is to: Foster the collaborations of art, history, and civics educators and faculty, to develop an effective and evidence-based curriculum focused on civic engagement and participation in Leon County K-12 school students. Research findings from previous studies (Shields et al., 2020; Fendler et al., 2020; Fendler & Shields, 2018) have been used to inform this action research project. This project is focused on collaborating with K-12 teachers to develop new, interdisciplinary curriculum, in order to provide practical, user-friendly, and up to date resources for K-12 art and civics teachers to teach towards civic engagement and participation.'
