International Affairs & History

Northeastern University

During my five and a half months at Queen’s, I have participated in three main areas of work.

  1. I have helped develop new research studies, including writing research protocols and ethics applications, creating Qualtrics surveys, training undergraduate experimenters, and beginning the recruitment of participants.
  2. I have gained greater insight into careers in academia by assisting with editing academic journal articles and grant proposals and by communicating with the lab’s many international collaborators.
  3. I have worked to disseminate past research findings through numerous avenues; this has involved writing blog posts, updating the lab’s website, and running the lab’s Twitter account.

Through these and other work tasks, I have also learned a lot about how to integrate my International Affairs and History degrees with other disciplines and apply my knowledge in those fields to a wider variety of sectors and experiences. 

Overall, I have really enjoyed living, traveling, and working in Northern Ireland. Belfast is a smaller city, so it is very manageable but there is still a lot to do. It is also quite easy to both get around the whole island and to travel elsewhere in the UK and Europe.

I decided to do my co-op here because I love Ireland and knew I wanted to do my co-op abroad. Psychology research is the field I want to eventually get into, so this was perfect. My experience at Queen’s has been great, working with the Animal Behaviour Centre.

Specifically what I did as a research assistant here was oversee recruitment of participants for both parts of a study investigating whether the ability in humans to recognize and attend to infant features is linked to personality or attitude towards animals. For the second part, an eye-tracking study, I scheduled in and ran the participants. I helped design some Qualtrics surveys and edited some ethics applications. I created and ran the Animal Behaviour Centre twitter page, and am currently helping write a literature review on methods of bycatch reduction through human behaviour change.

With this co-op, I got to see and work on all stages of the research process and work on various other projects. This will help me gain employment with my new experience in all aspects of psychology research, which is exactly what I’m trying to do.
