The SPARK Collaborative brings together student parents, researchers, practitioners, advocates, and institutions whose experiences and expertise can strengthen the broader student-parent field.
Join the SPARK Collaborative for a conversation about sharing your work, elevating your expertise, and building relationships across the network. This session will explore how SPARK’s Virtual Network and Constellations can help members connect with peers, showcase their experiences and research, and develop meaningful collaborations. Participants will also learn how to contribute to the SPARK blog, an accessible platform where current and former student parents and other members of the SPARK community can share their insights with a wider audience.
Whether you are interested in presenting your work, finding collaborators, contributing to the SPARK blog, or becoming more involved in the network, this session will help you discover what is possible when knowledge-sharing and community come together.
The presenters are Nina Owolabi, PhD, a mama-scholar and researcher focused on parenting students’ experiences, and Sarah Galison, MSW, a former student parent and Program Administrator for Graduate Students with Children at MIT. Both are STAR Fellows and members of the SPARK Working Board.
Join us on Thursday, September 10, at 12:30 p.m. PT / 3:30 p.m. ET.
