Hi Everyone ☺️ I’m Taylor and I am a second year PhD student in the Measurement and Quantitative Methods program @ UH. My program focuses on using data to better inform educational practices and curriculum for marginalized groups! #BlackInDataWeek #BlackInDataRollCall @BlkInData

**New OPEN-ACCESS paper alert!!** “Causes and consequences of stereotypes: Interest stereotypes reduce adolescent girls’ motivation to enroll in computer science classes” is in JRTE: https://t.co/2FxhfDsUIa @PHLSatUH @UHCOE @UW_ILABS @scheryan1 @__TMAlexander (1/n)

Dr. @__TMAlexander, quantitative researcher on the Learning Sciences Research Team, shares what part of her identity she's most proud of. #BlackHistoryMonth

I am very excited to share my first blog post @DigitalPromise! We 1) highlight STEM programs actively increasing diversity in the field and 2) evaluate students experiences in statistics courses at minority serving institutions (MSIs) and non- MSIs. https://t.co/HdUhD36LUk

It is an honor to be apart of this list in the @baltimoresun! The Meyerhoff Scholars program made pursuing & earning a PhD a true reality for me. I will always be grateful for this program and the amazing friends turned family I met along the way 🖤💛 Thank you Mr. Meyerhoff!!!

So honored to be recognized at #SREE23 as a Researcher of Color Mentored Travel Award recipient & represent @DigitalPromise! I’ve had an amazing time meeting & learning from other researchers of color, methodologists & practitioners in education.

4 WoC FACULTY WERE PUSHED OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER’S SCHOOL OF EDUCATION. I recognize that our “silence will not protect us” (Lorde 1977) Here is our response to hold the School to task: https://t.co/ZNsHg6QA52

Very excited to have been selected for @UHouston's Assistant Professor Excellence Speaker Series! Looking forward to the chance to share our work with my community on Sept. 27 at 12:15pm Central. Send me a message if you're interested in the virtual Teams link!

We @DigitalPromise are excited to have the opportunity to present at @SXSWEDU in 2024! DP members have proposed several research projects to present. Please click the link below and help us vote for the sessions you’d like to see selected! https://t.co/ScRDramNf9

Black girl freedom dreaming this summer 👧🏽

Here's what we'll be talking about:

Dr.@AllisonMaster and I had so much fun conducting our workshop at the @weteachcs summit this past month! We shared best practices for improving students’ sense of belonging in computer science courses and had a data party where we let the teachers interact with our data!!

Setting up for our 🎉data party 🎉 at @weteachcs! Time to eat cupcakes, dig into some data, and think deeply about ways to promote students’ sense of belonging in computer science. #cs4yall

“The best part of being a Black girl to me is the community of other Black girls. The love and support for we give one another and the safe spaces that love/support creates.” - Amina

Literally just logged into Twitter to tweet this myself--perfect timing! Can't wait to present with Dr. @__TMAlexander this Friday at 1:15 at the @weteachcs summit! 🎉 It's going to be a data party! 🥳 Computer science teachers, hope to see you there! #CS4Yall @UHCOE @PHLSatUH

“A Yale University study conducted in 2021 found that children believe in gender stereotypes as young as six years old, with girls ages eight or nine already basing the interests they explore on these stereotypes.” @UHCOE @PHLSatUH @UW_ILABS @UWPsychology

Glad to see our work being shared by the press! (Although only the editor of our paper was from Yale, not the authors, @Forbes…):

Yalllll I’m going to talk about the power and promise of Black women and girls with @ChelseaClinton (!!!!!!!) and @AshleeWisdom on June 13 at 11 AM ET! Honored! Nervous! Elated! All the things! 🥹🥹 You can join us virtually by registering at: https://t.co/ok9qR9L295 🍎

Why do so few women work as computer scientists? Assistant Professor @AllisonMaster found that girls’ interest in computer coding decreases at a young age — around third grade. Read more about her pioneering research with @__TMAlexander and @DaijiaziT: https://t.co/izJ4yvFViC.

Celebrating the end of the semester and all that we accomplished this year in the Identity & Academic Motivation Lab! @__TMAlexander @DaijiaziT

I have officially graduated with my PhD in Measurement, Quantitative Methods, and Learning Sciences!!!! This wouldn’t have been possible with out the support of my community and advisor @AllisonMaster 🖤❤️ & I’m the first PhD in my family, so this moment was extra special.
