Psi Chi Honor Society to Learn About Mission of R-Ladies in Meeting Today
Psi Chi International Honor Society at the University of Arkansas invites you to learn about the benefits of programming in the field of psychology, and specifically about the local chapter of R-Ladies, whose mission is to promote gender diversity in the R community. "R" is the name of a programming language used for statistical computations, data analysis and graphical representation of data.
The R community suffers from an underrepresentation of minority genders (including but not limited to cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, agender) in every role and area of participation, whether as leaders, package developers, conference speakers, conference participants, educators, or users.
As a diversity initiative, the mission of R-Ladies is to achieve proportionate representation by encouraging, inspiring and empowering people of genders currently underrepresented in the R community. R-Ladies' primary focus, therefore, is on supporting minority gender R enthusiasts to achieve their programming potential, by building a collaborative global network of R leaders, mentors, learners, and developers to facilitate individual and collective progress worldwide.
Morgan Middlebrooks of the Department Psychological Science will present some information about the R-Ladies chapter in Fayetteville, discuss why computer and programming skills are becoming an essential part of psychology research, and explain how you can get involved.
The meeting will be 2-3 p.m. today, Wednesday, Dec. 4, in the AFLS Building, room D025.
