P&N graduate students awarded funding for psychological research related to identity, diversity, inclusion, equity, and thriving

With generous support from The Charles Lafitte Foundation, the recently-formed P&N Task Force on Diversity, Inclusion, and Climate is assisting the department with redirecting funds previously designated for (now-prohibited) travel toward support for small and large graduate and postdoctoral research projects related to identity, diversity, inclusion, equity, and thriving. The Task Force crafted a special call to highlight the wide range of research topics that would fit within its scope, including but not limited to research on identity, diversity, culture, stereotypes, SES, and disparities. P&N graduate and postdoctoral award recipients and their project titles are listed below:
