Professional Development: Initiating and Sustaining Global Collaborations: Best Practices and Strategies
As psychology becomes an increasingly global science, new challenges arise to create an inclusive and comprehensive approach to research. Join Miguel Silan, Olivia Miske, Savannah Lewis, and Tilbe Göksun for a discussion about how to engage in global research. The panel discussed what they have learned from their experiences in global Big Team Science, or research conducted by many scientists who pool resources to study a single topic. They also shared practical challenges of doing cross-cultural research and tools to fund and manage productive international collaborations.
What you will learn:
• Tools to help network and form international collaborations
• Guidelines to manage projects with international collaborators
• Ways to become involved in Big Team Science
Speakers
Miguel Silan
Psychological Science AcceleratorMiguel Silan as an associate director in the Psychological Science Accelerator, and the chief behavioral strategist in the Annecy Behavioral Science Lab. He works on rethinking how large scale collaborative networks can best be harnessed for research involving vulnerable populations.
Olivia Miske
Center for Open ScienceOlivia Miske is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Center for Open Science. Her focus has been managing the Systemizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence (SCORE) program. This project has coordinated hundreds of researchers internationally to conduct replications and reproductions of claims in behavioral science.
Savannah Lewis
Psychological Science AcceleratorSavannah is a Co-Director of the Psychological Science Accelerator guiding the organization toward more engagement, diversity, and efficiency. She has been an instrumental part of the organization since its beginning and has served in a variety of roles throughout those years. She is also a PhD student in the Experimental Psychological program at the University of Alabama where she focuses on metascience, open science, and reproducibility.
Tilbe Göksun
Koç UniversityTilbe Göksun is a Professor of Psychology at Koç University and the director of the Language & Cognition Lab. Her primary research involves language-thought interaction across developmental time, early language learning, and multimodal language processing and production in different populations.
