ASC Lab
Fall 2018
Information for Prospective Students
Dr. Ratliff will accept new grad students for Fall 2021 (applications due Fall 2020). It is highly recommended that you send her a message introducing yourself and indicating your interest in applying. Dr. Ratliff is especially excited about mentoring students in research related to attitude formation or bias education efforts (broadly defined).
We are not accepting new undergraduate research assistants for the Summer or Fall 2020 semesters.
The ASC Lab operates with the belief that our science is better with a diverse team. We embrace and encourage our lab members’ differences in age, race, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make lab members who they are. We are firmly anti-racist and working to ensure a space that promotes safety and wellness for Black and POC students.
