The purpose of this study is to understand how the graduate academic environment at UNC-Chapel Hill impacts mental health from the perspective of Black men in graduate degree programs. Participants in this study will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview that will be virtual. This interview will last about 1 hour. Participants will be guided through prompts to bring out their views and experiences around graduate school and mental health. The insights gained from this study may inform a larger project on graduate student well-being and help develop future initiatives to support the health of Black men pursuing graduate degrees.
We will interview researchers whose work involves the science of gene editing or policy implications of human gene editing. We will also conduct observations at conferences and other public meetings. The interviews and observations will document researchers' perspectives on the scientific prospects for applying human gene editing to the prevention of disease, enhancement concerns that might be generated, and views on the appropriate governance of human genome editing research.
This study will illustrate how place is created for older adults through connections among aging, environment, and occupation. I will use a narrative approach to examine how community-based organizational leaders relate stories of anticipated meaningful relationships among aging, environment, and occupation in a community-based Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness. Additionally, I will explore how older adults narrate their meaningful occupational engagement among these environmental contexts. Overall, I will assess the connections between community-based organizational leaders' related stories of how aging, environment, and occupation would be situated and older adults' narrated accounts of their occupational engagement among the Center's environmental contexts.
