Project Description
The Culture Relationships and Wellbeing Lab (CRAWL) is focused on issues related to culture, relationships, and well-being in various populations in the context of organizations, teams, and communities. We seek to understand individual and groups differences with the purpose of promoting inclusion, well-being, collaboration, and leadership. Our group adopts mixed methods approaches to understanding organizational phenomena, and social psychological processes in the context of work. Currently, the lab is engaged in projects on work-based violence in healthcare settings, employment experiences of immigrants and families, and inclusion in the workplace.
Mentorship Statement
Mentoring is one way to pay-forward the incredible mentorship I have received as a woman of colour. As such, I value any opportunity to support young scholars with diverse backgrounds and interests in developing the needed skills and confidence to pursue research. Students will participate in weekly lab group (Culture, Relationships, and Well-being Lab: CRAWL) meetings with fellow students and senior researchers, e.g., postdocs, graduate students, and receive training on research methods, theory development, and statistical analysis. Our meetings are supportive and collaborative. Students in the lab group are encouraged to explore and contribute their own ideas and pursue lines of research that interests them.
A key value of CRAWL is inclusion. Our group is intentional in creating a welcoming and safe space conducive for learning and creativity. The SROP objectives are well-aligned with ours.
