What voices aren’t being heard in research? If you’ve worked with Dr. Kaston D. Anderson Jr., you have likely heard this question. Anderson, an associate professor of psychology, focuses on communities that do not have adequate access to services and who are often excluded socially, economically or politically. “These individuals deserve to have their voices heard in research and the scientific community as well,” Anderson says. “I’m a firm believer that everyone is an expert in their own lived experience.” Learn more about Dr. Anderson and his research here: https://lnkd.in/gZSrJhxm 💚 #MSUPsychology #BehavioralHealthPsychology #MSUSocialScience

Meet psychology major Isabella Reda, a 3rd year who plans on graduating this spring. From participating in the Adolescent Diversion Program to being the treasurer for the Psychology Club, Isabella has worked hard to get involved and figure out her path at MSU and beyond! 💚 “My experience with ADP has been incredibly impactful. It’s brought out a range of emotions, but in the most rewarding and meaningful way. Seeing firsthand the positive impact of supporting my kid has been nothing short of transformative, and I’m so glad to be part of a team that’s making a difference in the community.” Learn more about Isabella’s experience with the Adolescent Diversion Program, her job at Community Mental Health, and who has helped her along her journey: https://lnkd.in/gmN7Hw_6 #MSUPsychology #MSUSocialScience #AdolescentDiversionProgram #LansingCommunity #ExperientialLearning
