Welcoming Diversity Colloquium Series
The Welcoming Diversity Colloquium Series features nationally and internationally
known psychologists who focus on expanding understanding and application of diversity
research to university and applied settings. Each year, a scholar is invited to share
research with the University of Memphis community in a university-wide presentation
as well as shed light on teaching and graduate preparation through more intimate meetings
with Department of Psychology faculty, staff, and students.
This colloquium series was initiated in 2016 with Dr. Valerie Purdie-Vaughns' The Science of Diversity: How Stereotypes Constrain Us to Cause Achievement Gaps and What We Can Do to Thrive
