[Social-sciences-list] Welcome and Introductions

[T. Audrey Medina]

Hi all,

My name is Audrey Medina.  I'm at the University of Oregon pursuing a Ph.D.
in counseling psychology with a specialty area in disability studies.  I'm
in the process of deciding on a dissertation topic and looking forward to
hearing about your research and your strategies for addressing access
barriers.  Hope everybody's enjoying the summer!

-Audrey

Hi all,
As the moderator for this new social-sciences list, I first want to welcome
everyone who joined. I noticed about 25 email addresses on the subscription
roster and thought it might be nice if everyone could briefly introduce
themselves and perhaps say a bit about what you are hoping to get out of
being on the social-sciences list.
My name is Arielle Silverman, and I am a doctoral student in experimental
social psychology at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I am planning to
graduate in the spring of 2014 and am interested in becoming a research
professor either at a university or at an institute which studies disability
issues. My primary goal is to investigate the underlying causes of the
psychological barriers that people with disabilities face to integration,
both the barriers that we have internalized ourselves and the ones that come
from negative social attitudes. The bulk of my research training has been
quantitative, although I would like to eventually collaborate with
qualitative scientists as well.
I look forward to hearing from you and learning who you are!
Best,
Arielle
