Description

Students across Graduate Center (GC) psychology programs have elucidated a need for more diversity science training, reflecting the lack of comprehensive inclusion of diversity science in psychology more broadly. Diversity science employs unique theories, methods, and modes of analysis to address problems through a human diversity and social justice lens. In response to these needs, we developed the Diversity Science Initiative (DSI), a collaborative faculty-sponsored and student-led program that provides students and faculty with space and resources to produce high quality diversity (psychological) science research. The DSI employs bi-monthly meetings, which consist of expert panel discussions on different topics of diversity science as well as direct student support, which may include student research consultations or training workshops. Evaluation of the program and recommendations for implementation of similar initiatives will be discussed.
