  What is SOLES’ Annual Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Excellence Showcase? 

  The University of San Diego celebrates research across the campus with an annual research week. SOLES participates in this event by hosting the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Excellence Showcase. This is an opportunity for the SOLES community to share the important work they are involved in as it relates to diversity, inclusion, and social justice.  This is across fields of education, counseling, marital and family therapy, and leadership as it relates to inequality, multiculturalism, and historically under-resourced populations.

  When is the showcase? 

  SOLES’ 3rd Annual Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Excellence Showcase will be on April 22, 2020. Posters will be on display in a single location online for viewing. The interactive poster session will take place via Zoom breakout rooms from 12:00pm - 2:00pm and the student panel will be from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.

  What is the Advocacy in Research Panel?

  In this student panel, one person from each department in SOLES will share their work/research related to advocacy in their field. This will be a hosted-live Zoom session. 

  Who can present at the Showcase?

In addition, we invite members of the wider graduate studies community within USD to participate as well including the Business School, Law School, and Nursing School. 

• Presentation Questions

  I have never presented research before, is that OK? 

  Yes! This is a great opportunity for students to gain experience in their presentation skills in a less formal setting. 

  Does my research need to be complete in order to be presented?

  Not at all. Research is an evolving process and you may present yours at whatever stage it may be in. 

  How long should my presentation be?

  We request videos be between 4-6 minutes. If you are presenting capstone work, your video can be up to 7 minutes long.

  Can I present my classwork (capstone/action research projects) at the showcase?

  Yes! If presenting on class research, we encourage students to submit a presentation that is between 5-7 minutes long. 

  If I present my research, can I still view other people’s research?

  Of course! Each presenter will be able to view each of their zoom group presentations. Additionally, all presentation recordings will be available for asynchronous viewing in a repository after the event.
