NCFR Webinars
How To Be An Anti-Racist Researcher

Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2022 / 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CT
Presented by Meagan Call-Cummings, Ph.D.; Sharrell Hassell-Goodman, M. Ed., M.S. Ed.; Giovanni P. Dazzo, Ph.D. / Register now

It is important for researchers to be able to identify and understand how race, class, gender, and other inequities are embedded in the structures of their research plans to help shift research practices to be more inclusive and explicitly anti-racist.

This webinar will begin to address this gap by offering resources to question one’s own research practices through an anti-racist lens. By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

Examine and apply anti-racist research methods;
Connect epistemological commitments with concrete methodological decisions/plans; and
Develop an individual action plan committed to anti-racist research

All webinars are recorded and available later on demand. Classroom and departmental licenses are also available.

Family Science Impact

Supporting the Well-Being of Families in Agriculture
From the Fall NCFR Report

NCFR member Ahlishia Shipley, Ph.D., CFLE, uses her Family Science background to make an impact as a program leader with the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), supporting underserved agricultural producers, their families, and their communities.

In her NCFR Q&A, out in this fall's issue of NCFR Report magazine, Dr. Shipley shares more about her work and her professional journey.

"I feel I have the responsibility as someone trained in Family Science and in human development to elevate the human and social dimensions of food and agriculture," she writes, "because people ... are at the heart of a productive, resilient food system."

GET INSPIRED: READ THE Q&A

NCFR Policy Brief
LGBTQ+ Parents and Their Children

Charlotte J. Patterson, Ph.D., Rachel H. Farr, Ph.D., and Abbie E. Goldberg, Ph.D.

Research in this NCFR policy brief finds that LGBTQ+ parents generally well adjusted, that their children develop in positive ways, and supportive environments and policies will help them thrive.

Federal, state, and local laws are needed that reduce the likelihood of discrimination against these families, including in domains of housing, education, and parenting.

In addition, support is needed for research to explore the full range of experiences among diverse LGBTQ+ parents and their children, and to develop ways to help LGBTQ+ parents and their children to thrive.

READ & SHARE BRIEF

NCFR members can access a resource collection compiling research on LGBTQ+ individuals and families. See resources.

On Demand Webinars Introduction to Survival Analysis

Presenter: Isaac Washburn, Ph.D.

This webinar series introduces participants to survival analysis. Specifically, attendees will learn when and how to use survival analysis, how to interpret the results, and practice running the statistical method; little to no knowledge of this technique is needed before attending the webinar.

Part 1 covers the foundations of survival analysis and hazard functions. Part 2 will focus on time-varying and time-invariant predictors to more accurately predict when an event will happen.

PURCHASE OR ACCESS ON DEMAND:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Parts 1 & 2

Classroom or departmental licenses are available for these and any other webinar or conference recordings.
