Departmental Faculty Seminars

Department of Psychology faculty seminars typically include three themed monthly seminars as well as colloquia. SWell corresponds to seminars that focus on well-being, SiSR corresponds to seminars that focus on self-regulation, SAM corresponds to seminars that focus on analysis and measurement, and colloquia are department-wide talks.

Seminars will feature a mixture of talks, workshops, and other informal conversations. The talks may be either remote (via Zoom) or a hybrid of both remote and in-person. The links for the remote talks will be sent out close to the date of the talk by the faculty in charge of that seminar.
