Any mutuals going to AERA26 who study immigrant-origin youth interested in chairing a symposium on how acculturation influences K-12/higher ed outcomes? Quant/qual papers with some machine learning thrown in. Our group has a few feelers out but the deadline is approaching and could use some options.

Let me know if you're interested in a discussant or chair role in an AERA 2025 symposium on developing the STEM - and especially CS - teacher workforce. Could be a good opportunity for a student or junior person in particular to meet some cool folks in that space. And of course I'd owe you one.
