   Abstract = {When we shift the primary goal of writing support to
             sustainability, we acknowledge that faculty writers are
             valuable resources worth protecting. From this perspective,
             valorizing peak productivity is extractive and
             exploitative—of individual writers, one another, and the
             larger scholarly ecosystem.},

   Journal = {To Improve the Academy},
   Volume = {40},

   Abstract = {<jats:p>In this article, we explore how supporting faculty
             writers can also help them to become more effective teachers
             of writing in their disciplines. Based on over ten years of
             facilitating and studying faculty at our writing retreats,
             we demonstrate how understanding and improving their own
             writing experiences can spark insight into their students as
             writers. Furthermore, we suggest that helping faculty make
             this “turn to teaching” exemplifies the potential for an
             integrative model of educational development, one that
             leverages connections across faculty roles and
             responsibilities.</jats:p>},

   Author = {Ahern-Dodson, J and Clark, CR and Mourad, T and Reynolds,
             JA},
   Title = {Beyond the numbers: understanding how a diversity mentoring
             program welcomes students into a scientific
             community},
   Journal = {Ecosphere},
   Volume = {11},
   Number = {2},
   Year = {2020},
   Month = {February},
   url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3025},
   Abstract = {Programs designed to broaden participation in science are
             often deemed “successful” based on quantitative evidence
             such as student participation rates, retention, and
             persistence. These numbers alone only explain that a program
             met its goals; they seldom critically explain how,
             specifically, the program achieved its success. To address
             this gap, we studied students’ perspectives about and
             experiences with the Ecological Society of America's
             award-winning education and diversity mentoring program,
             Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and
             Sustainability (SEEDS). The persistence rate in ecology by
             SEEDS participants is three times greater than the national
             average, but the numbers alone do not explain the program's
             impact. We explored the reasons why this program has been so
             successful by gathering qualitative data as direct evidence
             explaining how SEEDS influenced participants’ decisions to
             study science and pursue science careers, and the resulting
             integration into a scientific community. We coded open-ended
             survey responses from SEEDS alumni against a social
             influence theoretical framework that proposes three dominant
             processes that predict students’ integration into a
             scientific community: scientific self-efficacy, scientific
             identity, and shared values with the scientific community.
             We not only found emergent evidence for all three processes,
             but we also gained a deeper understanding of how—in
             participants’ own words—SEEDS achieves its success.
             Specifically, SEEDS successfully welcomes students into a
             science community by (1) providing both breadth and depth of
             programming that offers flexible, multilayered approaches to
             developing self-efficacy to fit the needs of diverse
             students, (2) enabling participants to integrate a science
             identity into other preexisting identities, and (3)
             implementing programming that intentionally helps
             participants to consciously connect their values with those
             of their communities.},

   Title = {Promoting science literacy through Research
             Service-Learning, an emerging pedagogy with significant
             benefits for students, faculty, universities, and
             communities},
   Journal = {Journal of College Science Teaching},
   Volume = {39},
   Number = {6},
   Pages = {24-29},
   Year = {2010},
   Abstract = {Research service-learning (RSL) is an emerging pedagogy in
             which students engage in research within a service-learning
             context. This approach has great potential to promote
             science literacy because it teaches students how to use
             scientific knowledge and scientific ways of thinking in the
             service of society, and gives students a greater
             appreciation of the strengths and limitations of the
             scientific method. We used RSL to promote science literacy
             in an introductory course for non-majors, Conservation
             Biology of the Eno River. In this paper, we describe RSL,
             explain how we used it to design this course, and describe
             some lessons learned from the experience. We also describe
             the benefits of this approach for students, faculty, the
             community, and universities. Our hope is to provide science
             educators with another useful strategy for promoting science
             literacy.},
