Cross-Area Talks - CATs - bring together faculty and students and prompt discussions about hot topics in psychology and the world. There are two important ingredients to these (in-person) events. First, each event covers topics that cross multiple areas' interests and perspectives. Second, there will always be food and drinks provided! If you have an idea for a topic or you would like to volunteer, please use the google form linked below.

     Collaborative Area Poster session (CAPs)

    April 27, 3:30 PM 

    Graduate students will have the opportunity to present their cross-area work.  We also encourage students to work together to create Collaborative Area Posters that present work on topics leveraging multiple viewpoints, techniques, or domains.  A call for Abstracts (150 words) will be released in the spring (due March 15). Posters will be due April 12 (i.e., so that they can be printed in bulk).
