The inaugural keynote of the Research Speaker Series will be delivered by Dr. Nichole A. Guillory.

Dr. Guillory is a Professor of Curriculum and Instruction in the Department of Secondary and Middle Grades Education and an affiliated faculty member in the Interdisciplinary Studies Department at Kennesaw State University. She currently teaches courses in family and community engagement in teacher education and Black feminism in interdisciplinary studies. Drawing on Black feminist theory and curriculum theory, her research focuses on Black mothering as a form of justice work. She has co-edited two books with Denise Taliaferro-Baszille and Kirsten Edwards entitled Race, gender, and curriculum theorizing: Working in womanish ways (Rowman & Littlefield) and Black women theorizing curriculum studies in colour and curves (Routledge). Her published articles have appeared in various journals, including the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, Curriculum Inquiry, Teaching Education, and Multicultural Education. She also has published chapters in key texts, such as Curriculum Studies Handbook: The Next Moment, Critical Studies of Southern Place: A Reader, and Oxford Handbook of Hip Hop Music Studies. When she is not writing and teaching, she is mom to Nicholas, who is the love of her life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Students are invited to submit a link to a 5-minute prerecorded presentation during the submission process. Video recordings must adhere to the following guidelines:

    • Submissions must be in the form of a video file (.mp4, .mov, .wmv, etc.)
    • Submissions must be no more than 5 minutes in length.
    • Submissions should reflect the guidelines within your discipline. (Ex. A slideshow with a voice over, a video of you discussing your research, or if the piece is performance based, a video of said performance.)
    • Third-party images or music must be appropriately referenced. Music and images may be pulled from public domain websites, but they, too, must be cited.
    • Best practices for citing unusual materials are providing the item’s title, creator, source, and any licensing information, such as a CC-BY or Public Domain license.
    • Each submission should include a brief introduction about the presenter(s), including their name(s), class(es), and major(s).
  • We hope you do! We understand that you might not have a completed study, but you probably have preliminary information that you can present. This year, everyone will understand that there were challenges, and they will not give you a hard time for not having completed your project.
  • We will be using Microsoft Teams for presenters who choose the virtual option. Teams will allow multiple people to virtually attend a session. Presenters can share their screen to show a presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) or other visuals. Attendees can ask questions virtually or by using a chat box within the session. More specific details on how to use Teams for the BCOE Student Scholars Expo will be sent to each participant.
  • A detailed schedule will be shared by participants a week before the event. The schedule will include links to the different sessions. 
  • No. Everyone uses the same link to join the session.

  • You will be given a 10-minute slot for your presentation (10 for the presentation + 5 for questions). We recommend that you do the following for your presentation:

    • Enter your assigned "room" at least 5 minutes before the session starts. However, It would be ideal if you could attend the 1-hour session in full.
    • Share your screen and show an opening slide so attendees know they've entered the correct "room."
    • If you are using presentation software like PowerPoint, Prezi, OneNote, or Genial.ly: Start your presentation at the assigned time, and go into "presenter" mode to make your slides easier to read for the audience. Be sure to leave plenty of time for questions at the end.
    • If you are not using presentation software: We strongly encourage you to turn on your video so attendees have something to look at. More specific details about how to turn on the video feature can be found here.
    • When you're finished giving your presentation, ask the audience if they have any questions. Be sure to check the chat box to see if anyone wrote any questions
  • Not at this time. You will show it during your presentation, and if you'd like, you can attach your presentation to the "Chat" in Microsoft Teams if you would like your audience to have access to it. 
     

  • Yes! Everyone, regardless of whether they attend KSU or not, can join in the Teams sessions. Here are the instructions on how to join virtual sessions: 

    • Download the MS Teams app if you haven't already: https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app
    • Look through the program to find the sessions you're interested in attending.
    • At the assigned time or a few minutes before, click on the code to join the session -- a hyperlink called "Join now."
    • Please mute your microphone to avoid disrupting the speaker.

  • Definitely! All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and community members are welcome to attend, regardless of whether they have research to present. Attending the Symposium of Student Scholars is an excellent way to see the research opportunities available at Kennesaw State University.
