Community Research

As part of an NSF funded effort, the community research team seeks to develop resources and trainings to support researchers, community partners, and the public in learning how to conduct ethical research that is grounded in values of reciprocity, relationality, and respect. Our resources and trainings are available here.

Cultivating Connections

Cultivating Connections

In partnership with Dr. Melissa Tehee (Psychology, USU) and her Tohi Lab, Dr. Litts and the LED Lab are working with Edith Bowen Laboratory School (K-6) to investigate how to collaboratively (re)design cross-cultural field experiences for sixth graders to effectively develop culturally competent citizen scholars. The key aim of the project is to cultivate connections across partners, cultures, and disciplines.
