Doctoral Dissertation Research: Evaluating barriers and opportunities addressed by diversity internship programs: A social cognitive analysis

在佛罗里达大学Susan K Jacobson的指导下，博士生Nia Haynes将使用基于社会认知职业理论的框架，分析两个国家实习计划对种族和少数民族青年对自然资源职业的看法的影响。她还将对自然资源领域的在校生进行定量调查。该项目将有助于促进自然资源职业领域的多样性，并将导致共同pi使用社会研究设计，方法和分析完成理论驱动的研究。研究人员将与自然资源机构和机构建立伙伴关系，鼓励未来的合作。研究成果将通过在利益相关者会议、国际会议上的演讲、向同行评议期刊提交的手稿以及向自然资源机构、非政府组织和学术项目提交的报告等方式传播。

Under the supervision of Susan K Jacobson, at University of Florida, Ph.D. student Nia Haynes will analyze the influence of two national internship programs on racial and ethnic minority youth perceptions about natural resource careers, using a framework based on social cognitive career theory. She will also conduct a quantitative survey of current students in natural resource fields. The project will help promote diversity in the natural resource career fields and will result in the co-PI completing theoretically driven research using social research designs, methods and analysis. The researchers will build partnerships with natural resource institutions and agencies that will encourage future collaborations. Research results will be disseminated through presentations at stakeholder meetings, an international conference, through manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals, and a report to natural resource agencies, non-government organizations and academic programs.
