This past July 13-14, Aaron B. Daniels, associate teaching professor of psychology, took 22 undergraduate students to run and present papers at a Psychology & the Other Conference, held at Northeastern’s London campus. The students were part of Professor Daniels’s Psychological Humanities at Northeastern University (PH@NU) Workgroup and were generously supported by the College of Science Dean’s Fund.

The conference was a collaboration between Northeastern and Boston College’s Center for the Psychological Humanities and Ethics with the support of Duquesne University’s Clinical Psychology Department and the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, Colchester.

Over 200 scholars and practitioners attended this cross-disciplinary gathering offering over 90 papers and sessions covering diverse perspectives. The conference had an unprecedented number of undergraduates attending—over 50! Students participated in every aspect, from finding speakers to present and helping run the various track to presenting their research and networking with new leaders in the field—an incredible learning experience all around!

Professor William Sharp, Psychology, brought his Dialogue of Civilizations class as well as presented a paper of his own and Professor Laura Dudley, in her role as Director of Northeastern’s Mindfulness Minor, brought a student to present research as well as presenting her own work.

Northeastern Boston students presented over 19 posters in a wine and cheese reception with the evening finishing with opera sung by NU London’s Emily Noon and accompanied by Professor Bianca Serwinski, the London Chair for the conference. Northeastern London students were gracious hosts and presented their work at the conference.
