Documenting Humanity: A Critical Perspective of Asset-based Research Frameworks
Borne out of critical theory, asset model research is a response to research that has promoted historic barriers in entry to education. The goal of asset model research is to research historically-excluded groups as the people they are, not to justify their presence, but to challenge norms of respectability about what should be valued in education and to promote institutional change. In this workshop, you will quickly learn how to recognize the asset model and it’s key components, before creating your own research idea framed with the asset model. The presentation is designed to be useful to both new or experienced researchers. As research agencies such as the NSF are looking for asset-based research, this presentation will provide practical knowledge that will contribute to the success of any proposal whose work is based around reducing institutional barriers to historically-excluded groups.
This Virtual Workshop was recorded on July 8, 2020.

Dr. Canek Moises Luna Phillips
Dr. Canek Phillips is P’urepecha and a Research Scientist at in the George R. Brown School of Engineering at Rice University where his research interests touch broadly on efforts to promote greater equity for underrepresented groups in engineering. Canek earned his PhD from the Purdue School of Engineering Education in 2016 and worked as a graduate research assistant in Dr. Alice Pawley’s Feminist Research in Engineering Education Lab. Canek was brought on at Rice originally as a postdoctoral research fellow in 2017 on an NSF-funded study that investigates the efficacy of an audio-based method of learning mathematics where he now serves as Co-PI. In 2019, he began working as Co-PI on another NSF-funded study to reduce barriers in the hiring of underrepresented racial minority faculty in data science and data engineering fields.
