Location and times vary. Please see below for details. Light refreshments will be served at all talks.

Spring 2019
Monday, April 1, 2019 4:00 p.m. Modern Languages, Room 311	Andreana Haley, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, The University of Texas at Austin Health and Brain Vulnerability in Midlife Cognition is the most important determinant of functional ability and quality of life in older age. Despite recurrent news-flashes of some “latest breakthrough” in research and palliation, as it stands, unfortunately, there is no cure for dementia. In this talk, I will discuss the use of magnetic resonance imaging to explore the underlying neural mechanisms of brain vulnerability related to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. In addition, I will explore the roles of nutrition, physical activity and non-invasive transcranial laser stimulation to support cognitive function in vulnerable populations. The ultimate goal of this work is to guide efforts to prevent and treat late-life cognitive impairment, and ensure successful aging for our growing population of elderly. (This talk was originally scheduled for March 11^th.)
Friday, April 26, 2019 3:00 p.m. Modern Languages, Room 311	Emily Bianchi, Emory From Individualism to Racial Attitudes: Some Psychological Implications of Recessions

Real Talk: Diverse Perspectives in Graduate School

Blaine Harper, Doctoral Student, Cognition & Neural Systems PhD Program

Amanda Perez, Graduate Student, Masters in Counseling

Saren Seeley, Doctoral Student, Clinical Psychology PhD Program

Veronica Suarez, Graduate Student, Masters in Social Work Program

For this special event, we are teaming up with Psi Chi to bring together graduate student speakers from four different disciplines related to psychology to discuss their experiences in graduate school, the challenges they may have faced, and how they recommend promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equity for graduate students.

We hope to promote awareness, encourage discussions, and inform policies that may improve the experiences of graduate students. We also hope to empower future graduate students.

Intersectionality: The Nuances of Diversity

Please join us this Friday, November 2nd, 2018 from 3-5 pm in the Santa Rita room of the Student Union for the Colloquium Diversity sub-committee event in a series focusing on diversity in science. We aim to promote awareness and encourage discussions about the nuances of intersectional identities, embolden individuals who may come from nontraditional backgrounds, and encourage changes in the field that will foster greater inclusivity. We are ecstatic to bring this event to the UA community and hope you will join us. Refreshments will be served.
