Meeting ID: 979 6438 5919

In addition to his research expertise, Kuba is now Co-Chair of the SPSP International Committee along with Susan Cross. With his students and the SPSP International Committee, he has been spearheading an initiative to push/help journals to publish more research from under-represented cultural/geographical areas, such as policies for  "badges" for international diversity etc., that is getting excellent response from top SPSP, APS, and IACCP-associated journals. He also has really interesting insights from his large-scale international research. I encourage you to listen in and ask questions on the Zoom!

Best wishes, Emma
