a trauma-informed lens for addressing race-based incidents in the learning environment
A CAPS and CAFE collaboration
Friday, April 7 from 12:00-2:00pm; lunch provided
Registration information coming soon!
How can we take meaningful steps toward creating more socially equitable learning environments? At predominately white universities, students of color continue to experience discrimination, social isolation, and psychological challenges throughout their educational experiences. For example, micro aggressions, conversations about race or racially-based issues, and stereotype threat take a toll and can affect their ability to learn. In this two-hour workshop, Dr. Pearson-Wharton offers practical steps and guidance for educators to effectively address race-based trauma in learning spaces.
Dr. Stacey-Wharton is the Dean of Health I Wellness and Director of the Counseling Center at Susquehanna University. She holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University and a Masters in Counselor Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Program provided by CAPS. Funding for this workshop was made possible in part by grant number 5H79SM084035-02 from SAMHSA: Well Lancers: Creating a Culture of Well-Being with Expanded Mental Health Services. Lunch provided by the Center for Faculty Enrichment (CAFE)

In this workshop, we will discuss how to design survey questions to meet statistical objectives. Far too often, researchers design and implement surveys without considering what types of statistical analysis they want to use. Once data is collected, it is too late. The type of variables and analytical techniques often have many limitations. In this workshop, we will discuss strategies to write survey questions that create the most possibilities for analysis. Bring your research ideas! As time permits, we will work through possibilities for your research questions.
