The Multicultural Peace and Justice Collaborative

Graduate Lab Application for Research Assistants

The Multicultural Peace and Justice Collaborative (The MultiPJC) is intentionally multicultural in membership and foci, and seeks to understand:

Peace (1) within self, (2) with other individuals, (3) with groups and nations, and (4) with humanity

Biblical and Social Justice for the marginalized and oppressed through (1) self-examination, (2) consciousness-raising, (3) advocacy, (4) liberation, and (5) empowerment

Students (1) assist faculty, (2) assist peers, and (3) complete first-author publications/ conference presentations. The MultiPJC uses various approaches to science [1. qualitative-experimental–ex post facto, 2. rigor–relevance (i.e., internal vs. external validity), and 3. exploratory–confirmatory continuums], and is broadly focused on how science, faith, practice, diversity, peace, and justice intersect. Please see the website for further information.

Mentorship

The professor’s goal is to help lab members develop research competencies consistent with program goals and APA benchmarks. The professor aims to help lab members develop their potential both as clinicians who are informed by research and as researchers whose work informs clinical practice. The professor aims to help you learn to conduct good, rigorous science that will be useful to those both within and outside our community of faith, and add to scientific knowledge by presenting at professional conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
