Join us for a virtual Q&A about the Columbia Summer Research Practicum in Global Behavioral Science (GLOBES) at the University of Cambridge. The program aims to provide students essential skills and knowledge for conducting psychological research across the world, alongside a ground of international researchers. Students will also take part in a conference at the end of the program to be exposed to professional development in the field. Students earn 4 Columbia points for the program, all while spending time at one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the world. Please review the recording of the GLOBES Summer Information Session prior to attending the Q&A, and come to the Q&A with any questions you may have about the program or application process.

A 60-minute workshop for Columbia faculty and research officers who mentor graduate student and postdoc researchers in Science and Engineering and the Health Sciences. Are you looking for ways to create a diverse and equitable research group? Join fellow research mentors for a conversation on ways to cultivate an environment of inclusion among your research mentees, led by CTL facilitators trained by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Research Experiences (CIMER). Research groups composed of people with diverse cultures and experiences tend to be more creative and innovative when every member of the research team feels they can share their unique perspectives. In this session you will examine how you can unlock the benefits of a culturally diverse research group using inclusive practices and examine the ways the policies, expectations, and behaviors in your lab can promote an inclusive culture. Through facilitated discussions, you will explore strategies you can use to engage in conversations about diversity with mentees and foster a sense of belonging. In this session research mentors will: - Examine the potential impact that assumptions, preconceptions, biases, and prejudices bring to the mentor-mentee relationship.  - Explore concrete strategies for recognizing, and addressing issues of equity and inclusion in order to foster a sense of belonging.
