2022 Graduate Psychology Research Conference
Each year the University of Manitoba’s Psychology Department hosts a research poster conference where graduate students come together to build a research community across the fields of psychology, share their research projects, and receive constructive feedback on their projects.
We would like to congratulate and thank all of the psychology graduate students for their participation in this year's conference and welcome everyone to view the online posters.
As part of this year's conference, we will gather online on April 1, 2022 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm CT to congratulate several psychology student award winners, including the Psychology Department's Vineberg, John R. Walker Clinical Research, and Marion and Morgan Wright Awards, followed by a presentation by the 2021 Vineberg Award winner, Caitlin Blaney. We will also have the opportunity to hear poster presentations from the Graduate Psychology Students on wide-ranging topics from emotion regulation, mindful caregiving, and memory to brain plasticity and intergroup relations.
