Exciting Announcement: Publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics
I am thrilled to share our latest publication in the esteemed Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics. The paper, «Trans-Disciplinary Communication for Policy Making: A Reflective Activity Study» (León, 2024), is now available for readers.
Paper Abstract:
This paper reports on a workshop. Participants represented a cross-section of academia, nonprofits, federal agencies, and the general public, focusing on STEM Education, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and traditionally underrepresented groups (TUG). The paper delineates the protocol for eliciting robust participation and facilitating knowledge sharing. Subsequently, it scrutinizes the outcomes of these interactive discussions, culminating in an analysis of the broader implications of the activity. A significant finding emphasizes the pressing need for greater dissemination and divulgation by successful programs. A pivotal question underpinning this study is: How can Trans-Disciplinary Communication (TDC) be operationalized to foster equitable and innovative policy development in STEM fields? This inquiry fosters actionable steps and constructive dialogue toward achieving equity-driven systems change.]

Acknowledgments
The contributions of this interdisciplinary team, bolstered by the NSF Includes Network and mentors such as Dr. Nagib Callaos, establish a solid foundation for research aimed at broader societal impact. As the dialogues draw close, participants express their emotional and moral investment in confronting systemic inequities. Crafting universally beneficial policies—especially in institutionally diverse settings like New Jersey—reinforces the need for sustained engagement and dialogue among various stakeholders.
