Research in Neurodiverse Psychology for Social Benefit

This class-wide set of posters together highlight research conducted by students in PSY 420: Neurodiverse Psychology. Each student selected a distinct DSM-5-TR diagnostic category and, acting as an emerging scholar, investigated empirically-supported treatments for a particular psychological disorder by synthesizing peer-reviewed meta-analytic reports and efficacy studies. Additionally, presenters have worked to identify a prevalent myth about each diagnosis using scholarly evidence and offer verified local and regional mental health resources available to those who would benefit from such support. Finally, presenters explore how faith and cultural perspectives intersect may with evidence-based care in the category. Together, the session represents an intent to translate complex psychological research into accessible, community-relevant knowledge.

Beyond Labels: Excavating Identity and Culture at Bushnell University

This interactive exhibit explores identity and belonging within the Bushnell University community through student-led cultural excavation. Inspired by Dr. Paul Metzger’s talk on insignia, impulse, iPhones, and industry, students interviewed key stakeholder groups—athletes, commuters, faculty/staff, and administrators—and created artifacts reflecting their findings. The exhibit features a bookshelf display of these artifacts with explanatory paragraphs, a polaroid photo collage, statistical data, and a short film compiling voices from the campus. This Living Cultural Museum invites viewers to consider what it means to be seen beyond labels and to celebrate the richness of our shared identity.
