Research Explorations:
Virtual Cultural Event - Tuesday, April 20th at 12:30 pm
Research Explorations is a speaker series that showcases Winthrop faculty and student research projects. Our next guest speakers in the series will be Dr. Joi D. Anderson, Professor of Social Work, and Miss Aimée Sykes, undergraduate student in Social Work. Their presentation is titled, "The Relationship Between Trauma and Post-Release Employment for Incarcerated Women." This virtual cultural event will be held on Tuesday, April 20, at 12:30 pm, via Zoom.
In this talk Dr. Anderson and Miss Sykes present their research on women who have returned to their communities and employment after incarceration. The talk will also discuss their cross-sectional survey research design.
Guest speakers in the Research Explorations series will not only present and discuss their current research projects, they’ll also explain their research methods and processes, such as how to search for sources, how to form research surveys and get IRB approval, how to write abstracts, and how to present research. These are all important skills for new researchers to learn and model, and these presentations are designed to help students learn how to build a framework for structuring their own research projects.
