Come see the new OSU Disability Network space in Milam 306.
The space was created in conjunction with the School of History, Philosophy & Religion’s renovation project, and is shared with the school’s new “Ethics pod,” but they hope to plan to expand in the future. The space can be used for reading groups, meetings, socializing… ideas are welcome!
Stop by any time, or come in this Friday, Nov. 15 from 3-5 PM during the SHPR Open House for treats and door-prizes.
The Disability and Social Interaction Lab, headed by Dr. Kathleen Bogart, examines the way people adapt to disability (e.g. facial paralysis, mobility disability) and the way others form impressions about them. Dr. Bogart is seeking undergraduate and graduate students for her lab to assist with research. Students with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with psychology research for graduate school or future employment. Students can earn course credit or volunteer in the lab. To learn more about the research, go to: http://oregonstate.edu/cla/psych_science/bogart.
Contact Dr. Bogart at Kathleen.bogart@oregonstate.edu for more information or to apply.
