Upcoming Events:
6/28: Responsible Conduct of Research - Belonging cues to foster inclusive and safe work environments, with Gregg Muragishi, Postdoctoral Scholar in the Psychology Department at the University of Washington, on Friday, June 28th at 10am via MS Teams.
Description: What does it mean to be included at work? How do we cultivate a culture of belonging? In this talk, Dr. Muragishi uses a social psychological approach to examine how our social contexts and personal experiences can raise questions about our belonging at work. He will discuss the various types of belonging cues that people look for to answer those questions and then present his current research on how to increase belonging and company commitment using microinclusions. Finally, he will provide recommendations of how to implement microinclusions within organizations.
Gregg Muragishi is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Psychology Department at the University of Washington. He received his PhD in social psychology from Stanford University. His research focuses on identifying and mitigating the effects of cultural biases and stereotypes on minoritized group members' experiences in science, engineering, and technology settings. In particular, he focuses on how the dominant group members' beliefs and behaviors shape minoritized group members' belonging, motivation, interest, and retention in science, engineering, and technology. Dr. Muragishi has been published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Science, and Psychological Science. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and by the Women of Color in Computing Research Collaborative.
