[Social-sciences-list] Welcome and Introductions

[Angela Fowler]

Hello everyone,
	My name is Angela Fowler, and I live in Yuba City, California, which
is about a 45 minute drive north of Sacramento. I'm working on a BA in
psychology at Sacramento State University. While my main interests lie in
the area of counseling, there are some research topics I would like to
pursue in the area of blindness. In particular, I would like to explore ways
to foster social competence in totally blind children, who after all miss
out on much of the incidental learning which allows them to gain information
on how to behave in many social settings, and are often not taught these
things because of low expectations.
	I am also interested in learning how to write effective grants, not
only for my own future research projects but to help raise funds for my NFB
affiliate and student division. 
	One of the best things about being a part of an organization such as
NFB is the wealth of knowledge and information we offer each other. I look
forward to learning from everyone on this list, and will share such
knowledge as I have.
Angela

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
