SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Psychological Safety to Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Psychological Safety to Innovation\; The Intersectionality of Healthy to Innovative Spaces and a “People-Centered” Focus to Drive Outcomes and Discovery in an Emerging Plasma Science\, Fusion\, and Fusion-Adjacent Energy Workforce\n\nAbstract:\nSystemic obstacles to STEM climates\, e.g.\, gatekeeping\, othering\, grant and award criteria\, Principal Investigator/Research Group accountability\, and closed-source data management\, are prime leverage points to reimagine and implement equitable restorative measures in current and burgeoning workspaces. Psychological safety and moral courage bring experts together with the community\, including members of marginalized groups\, to create a healthy foundation. A community feedback system facilitates the identification of workplace climate issues so they are promptly and effectively addressed. Cultural Competence leverages the established safety and courage base to chart a path to an inclusive culture and harness the power of diverse perspectives. Under this framework\, sponsored events can address many forms of oppression and empower thriving workspaces. Collaborating technical and cultural subject matter experts in supported community-based workshops and trainings\, provide a scaffolding for continued growth in individual spaces. Accurate use of the “Healthy to Innovative Framework” in learning and work spaces can transform climates and cultures to maximize innovation in a “People-Centered” focus that drives outcomes and discovery for an emerging fusion and fusion-adjacent energy workforce. \n\nCAPT Royce W. James\, Ph.D.\n\nPrior to joining the Coast Guard\, Dr. James served with AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) as a Team Leader\, then graduated from US Coast Guard Boot Camp class Y-149 in 1996.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: The Social Pyschology of Systemic Racism (Kickoff Event)
DESCRIPTION:What are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods. \n\nA kickoff for the series and reception will be led by series organizer Nick Camp.\n\nTalks in this series will be held Mondays from 3:30 to 5\, starting Sept. 16. Check the listings for details!\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included themes such as political polarization\, cultural psychology\, and evolution & human behavior.
