Robotics Seminar 3/14: Carina Buzo Tipton (Oregon State OID)
by Fitter, Naomi 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Roboticists, This week, we're having a workshop with Dr. Carina M. Buzo Tipton (an expert on thinking through broader impacts plans for grants proposals/outreach efforts/education and more!) for our Friday seminar. As a reminder, everyone is expected to come to the seminar. We’ve got a strict no-device policy. We also have, as always, coffee and coffee cake. For the winter term, we're in Rogers Hall 230. Seminar is at 10am Friday. See you then! Cheers, Naomi ________________________________________________ Access, Belonging, and Success in Research Carina Buzo Tipton, Assistant Director for DEI Education, OSU OID Abstract: As effective as we can be in our scholarship, research, and classrooms, if there are barriers to access, belonging, and success then our work will be limited. This interactive workshop will introduce key topics and questions for ensuring that the work you are engaged in considers the implications of possible barriers to entry and identifying opportunities for integrating access, belonging, and success into your efforts. Concretely for those engaged in robotics research, this line of thinking will help you articulate the broader impacts of your work, something that many researchers will need to do when writing (for example) proposals for the National Science Foundation and other funding bodies, in addition to supporting the development of useful outreach related to research efforts. For best results, come to the workshop with some type of proposal or research dissemination task in mind (e.g., large robotics research grant, fellowship, SBIR award, outreach effort in development - think about what is helpful to you!) and use the experience to develop ideas for these research efforts. Bio: Dr. Carina M. Buzo Tipton (she/her) is the assistant director for DEI education in the office of institutional diversity. Her published works reach across many topics including institutional DEI curriculum, sexual assault education and consent work, carceral institutional critique, trauma informed pedagogies, Chicanx/Latine gender and sexuality, and student development. Carina’s research and scholarship focus on institutional change, where she argues that if there are critiques of the institution, there must also be solutions, and where there is institutional harm, there must also be healing.
