In June 2019, I participated in a European Union Erasmus+ higher education mobility staff exchange with the University of Porto, Portugal. The grant provided me with the opportunity to travel to meet with faculty and directors of research centers across the social sciences at the University of Porto to share ideas and make connections, both as a faculty member and as director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship.
While in Portugal, I also took the opportunity to meet with the psychology faculty at the Human Neurobehavioral Lab at the Catholic University of Portugal to also explore opportunities for collaboration with UMBC social science faculty!
