One of the things that we discuss and try to emphasize here at Office Hours<\/span> is the potential for us to help reframe research as an ongoing and dynamic conversation. Similarly, when I speak to undergrads in their classes, I try to emphasize the participatory possibility of research. We discuss the many barriers to understanding and contributing to scholarly conversations with the ultimate goal of breaking those barriers down and finding the courage to, as Kenneth Burke articulated, put in one\u2019s oar.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In this semester\u2019s final episode of Office Hours: Student Spotlight<\/span>, Emilee sat down with Faiza Gebi and discussed, among other things, the power of fronting aspects of one\u2019s identity, history, or background in their research. Faiza notes that this has allowed her to not only learn new things about herself, but also, and importantly, enter new aspects or contextual articulations into ongoing conversations and, in doing so, teach others something new, even experts on the topic.<\/p>\n Emilee\u2019s and Faiza\u2019s conversation about research didn\u2019t remain on the conceptual register. Faiza had a busy day at the Centre for Undergraduate Research Learning 2025 Spring Conference<\/a> and Emilee asks her about each of her contributions.
