Research in the Context of Faith: Learning to Push Back Against Achievement-Based Identity by Dr. Lauren Slone, Assistant Professor of Psychology
How do people learn? How do learning mechanisms change across the lifespan? Why do some people learn faster or remember longer than others? These are the types of questions Dr. Lauren Slone and her research students investigate empirically. In this presentation, Dr. Slone will describe some of her research in developmental cognitive science and the professional journey that led her to that field, along with some of the personal insights she has gained along the way. She will share about her struggle of having an identity based on others’ approval, and how cultivating a sense of belonging based in faith in God is transforming her understanding of vocation and infusing new joy and purpose into her work.
This lecture is part of the Continuum Scholars Faculty Development Program: an inter-divisional cohort of pre-tenure faculty members who met last summer to discuss theological perspectives on the vocation of scholarship, the current state of theological reflection and engagement in their research fields and disciplines, and the ecumenical continuum of theological perspectives through which our colleagues both at Hope College and within higher education approach their own scholarship. Our goal through this program and these lectures is to build a community committed to an ongoing conversation about faith, vocation, and scholarship. We hope that you will be part of it.
Please note the following dates for Fall 2023 Continuum Scholars lectures:
Lauren Slone, Assistant Professor (Psychology) on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 11am (Fried-Hemenway Auditorium)
Brooke Odle, Assistant Professor (Engineering) on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 11am
