Here and Queer (HQ): Providing Space for LGBTQ+ Students and Early-Career Researchers

Here and Queer (HQ) was created to provide community-building and social support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) students and early-career SPSP members. Our monthly, recurring drop-in space will allow us to come together, share ideas, and explore topics of importance. HQ will also be able to organize beyond the boundaries of the annual conference through this virtual space. Note: Accommodations will be requested to maintain individuals' privacy. Everyone is welcome.

Conducting Science for Us by Us: Centering Ourselves in Research and Protecting our Sanity Along the Way

Psychology students from diverse backgrounds will engage in a community discussion about conducting research about populations whom they represent and some of the barriers that are created, as both psychologists-in-training who are actively doing the work and the systems in place that make it difficult for this work to be published and disseminated. We will be joined by Aldo Barrita (https://abarrita.academia.edu), a doctoral student in his 4th year at the Psychological and Brain Sciences PhD Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). This is part of a monthly Diversity Graduate Student series created by Troy Kearse, 2022-2023 DEI Chair of the SPSP student committee, to build community among students of marginalized communities in SPSP.

Retired, Retiring, or Just Thinking About It?

During this session, participants will discuss retirement, whatever form that might take. Those who are retired and those who are thinking about it have much to tell each other. Attendees will share the different paths they can take, and meet people making such decisions. A new phase of life is both exciting and scary. Join us for this free exchange of views, questions, and experiences.
