DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Side by Side is a transdisciplinary program that seek
 s to address the lack of representation in climate communication through a
  paid summer fellowship for historically marginalized young women and gend
 er-expansive youth. Through art-science inquiry informed by evolutionary b
 iology\, ornithology\, climate communication\, performance\, design\, and 
 experiential learning\, fellows in the summer program deepen their underst
 anding of migratory bird species and express the impacts of climate change
  on their feathered neighbors through the creation of Migratory Micro-Exhi
 bits. These dynamic bi-lingual (Spanish/English) exhibits are contained wi
 thin transportable trunks\, carrying youth-produced climate communication 
 materials including: wearable bird costumes\, art-science explorations of 
 bird biology\, and interactive components to engage audiences in envisioni
 ng new futures. Formative evaluation of Micro-Exhibits is embedded into th
 e experience of the trunks themselves through participatory forms of quali
 tative data collection that allow audience members to contribute their own
  climate narratives through drawings\, writing\, recordings\, and other in
 teractive activities. These types of integrated and interactive assessment
 s allow for insight into the thoughts and perspectives of program particip
 ants\, while remaining unobtrusive to the learning process (Fu et al.\, 20
 19). In this colloquium Dr. Hackett Holden will lead a discussion on the b
 enefits and challenges of various research methodologies\, particularly fo
 cusing on the power that research holds and how to thoughtfully utilize me
 thods that contribute to the equitable distribution of power and do not de
 epen existing mindsets that position researchers above subjects\, adults a
 bove youth\, or quantitative methods above qualitative. We encourage atten
 dees to think about how our research methods themselves can disrupt hierar
 chies and instead place these disparate concepts side by side. \n\nBio: Dr
 . Chelsea Hackett Holden\nDirector of STEAM Engagement and Innovation\nChe
 lsea Hackett Holden PhD (She/Her/Hers) is an interdisciplinary artist\, re
 searcher\, and creative consultant based in Boulder\, Colorado. She is cur
 rently serving as the Director of STEAM Engagement and Innovation at Scien
 ce Discovery. In addition\, she is the Project Director of Side by Side\, 
 an interdisciplinary project guiding youth through exploring human/bird re
 lationships as a lens for generating hopeful climate narratives. Before jo
 ining CU\, she was the co-founder and Executive Director of SPEAK\, a non-
 profit that focuses on Vocal Empowerment for women and girls. She complete
 d her doctorate in Educational Theatre at New York University\, where her 
 research focused on a partnership between MAIA Impact\, a Guatemalan all-g
 irl school\, and an all-female Maya theatre company called Ajchowen. For e
 ight years\, Chelsea was a professional development coach and teaching art
 ist in New York City. She is passionate about using the power of the arts
