- Paul Morgan, Harry & Marion Eberly Faculty Fellow and professor of education (educational psychology), is principal investigator (PI) of a three-year project, “Longitudinal relations among social contexts, bullying, victimization and elementary school outcomes in a nationally representative sample,” that has been awarded $1.44 million from the Institute of Education Sciences. This project will use social ecological theory to investigate modifiable factors in family, classroom, school and neighborhood contexts that are associated with or predictive of bullying victimization in third through fifth grade; the extent to which these social contextual factors function as mediators or moderators of other explanatory factors; and whether and to what extent bullying victimization is related to children's academic, behavioral and socioemotional functioning at the end of fifth grade. Morgan’s co-PIs are George Farkas (University of California) and Yoonkyung Oh (University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston).
- Macy Pyres, a doctoral candidate in educational psychology, is PI of an eight-month project, “Wolastoqiyik Students Sense of Belonging” that has been awarded $5,000 from the American Education Research Association. Matthew McCrudden, professor of education (educational psychology), is adviser/co-PI. This project is using Indigenous methodologies to explore Wolastoqiyik students’ sense of belonging in academic settings.
