PsychResearchList in the media:

An equally important component is making it easier for people of all genders, racial and ethnic groups, and income levels to participate in science — as scientists. With the goal of making her field of study, psychology, more accessible, Yucel created Psych Research List, a website that lists resources to help undergraduate students advance their careers, such as paid internships, scholarships, and virtual graduate courses. Often, students won’t hear about these opportunities unless they are plugged into the right networks, she explains. Her site helps level the playing field.

A new initiative organised by Jim A.C. Everett and Meltem Yucel: the International Moral Psychology (IMP) List has been called to life. The rationale behind this was the recognition that there are amazing people doing really important work in social/moral psychology all around the world, and yet we often think of the same US-based names when considering collaborators, reviewers, people to invite to our seminar series. We wanted to create a list so that people can more easily see the work being done around the globe, not just in the US, and begin to form an international community of people working on morality in psychology. If you’d like to add yourself to the list, please do follow the link below and enter in your details. We hope that this will help create a more focused (topic-wise) yet inclusive (diversity-wise) community that we can all benefit from.
It's Innate Podcast, Episode 11: We didn't mean to keep you waiting but, in this episode, Candy and Deon interview Dr. Meltem Yucel. We open the episode by discussing Meltem's outstanding work developing the useful tool Psych Research List, which provides a hub of information on paid research opportunities as well as information on applying to graduate school.

Mission:
Increasing Access to Academia |
Prospective graduate students are expected by Universities to have extensive research experience and exceptional recommendation letters to have a chance of getting into graduate programs. Research involvement in the lab can lead to undergraduate and graduate awards, grants, posters, and publications. As departments are opting to drop GRE requirements due to COVID-19, the value placed on research experience will only increase.
Despite the importance of research experience in admissions decisions, undergraduate students can easily miss out on scholarships or valuable opportunities to be a part of the scientific community if they do not have access to this information. Situations, where students do not have access to information that they are expected by Universities to know (such as emailing etiquette or seeking out research experience), have been referred to as the hidden curriculum of higher education (Calarco, 2020; Margolis, 2001). Although students from more privileged backgrounds or universities can still find themselves not knowing how to enter or succeed in academia, the hidden curriculum seems to affect minoritized, first-generation, and/or international students the most. It is time for us to discuss how we disseminate information to undergraduate students. One of the main ways we share job openings, conference deadlines, or internship positions is through each society’s listserv. Psychology, for example, has over ten branches, each with unique divisions and respective societies. Then there are local and country-specific psychology societies. This long list of societies makes it very difficult for interested students to keep track of internship or other opportunities because most of these listservs require students to 1) know about the society’s existence, 2) pay the cost to be a member, and 3) keep track of all the emails. I created this website to make Psychology more transparent and accessible. Sincerely, Dr. Meltem Yucel |
