Life history responses to covariance between temperature and food availability in Daphnia magna

While “science practices” are featured heavily in current reform efforts, such efforts do not automatically result in opportunities for students to actively shape science knowledge practices.

When students are denied opportunities to shape science knowledge practices, and receive messages that their ideas, experiences, and communities are unscientific,philosophers name such harm as epistemic injustice.

To disrupt epistemic injustice, I use lenses from fields such as the History and Philosophy of Science to examine how students become transformative epistemic agents in their schools and communities by co-developing science knowledge and practices with teachers.

For many real-life phenomena one may assume that the units of observation, typically patients, transition through a set of discrete states on their way towards an absorbing state. The states often constitute various stages of a disease, from perfect health through various stages of dementia for example. Multi-state models are a class of statistical models which allow us to study the time spent in different states, the probability of transitioning between states, and the relationship between these quantities and covariates of interest. In many applications the transition times between states are not observed exactly; instead, the current state of the patients is queried at arbitrary times. The transition times are therefore interval censored, and this makes inference and modelling challenging. Most current approaches are based on the Markov assumption, for example the simplest parametric model available - the time-homogeneous Markov model. Here, we propose a new, general framework for parametric inference with interval censored multi-state data. Our models allow non-Markovian behaviour. I will present the framework and an algorithm for the automatic construction of the likelihood function, along with real-data examples. This talk is based on joint work with Marthe Aastveit and Nils Lid Hjort.

Teachers hold immense power in classrooms to open up or constrain opportunities for student learning.

While watching teachers enact equitable instruction is wonderful, we know that teachers are not born being able to help all students learn. How, then, can we prepare new teachers to enact equitable instruction?

Here, I will describe teacher educator pedagogies as we design and enact opportunities for preservice teachers to learn about, rehearse, and receive feedback regarding their emerging instruction. I will also describe design-based research conducted with preservice teachers to examine extended opportunities to rehearse equitable instruction in methods courses.
