Introduction to iiSEE

As a group of graduate and undergraduate researchers from various academic and personal backgrounds, we come together under our common psychological interests surrounding intrapersonal & social functioning as linked to various "levels of being", including personality, identity, socio-structural conditions, neurophysiology, and perception.

At iiSEE, we are passionate about collaboration and knowledge sharing. Our team is made up of talented researchers from UC Berkeley, each with their unique perspectives and expertise. Our team is always happy to hear from fellow researchers and organizations who share our passion .

Our Approaches

A central part of our mission is to support research mentorship, graduate exposure, and a sense of community to students from all walks of life and experience levels. 

The iiSEE team itself acts in broader community roles, including as a host for students enrolled in the Research Experience Pathways (REP) in Psychology program within the Psychology Department.

As such, we gear our academic and social work towards fostering and crystallizing pillaring aspects of success and wellness in higher education:

01

Competencies

This entails technical aspects of our work, including research methods, statistics, and inferential thinking. To this end, members of our team take guided leadership roles in a specific project, facilitating closer and more agentic engagement with their research as well as their mentoring needs.

02

Culture

This entails everything that has to do with "codes" of academic navigation, including norms,  procedures, resources, and structures that define our academic spaces, particularly in graduate school. To this end, we strive to maintain continuous faculty, graduate, and peer forms of contact and mentoring through weekly individual and group meetings, group trainings, and research presentations.

03

Community

This entails how we and others see us as part of a larger collective, and the benefits that arise from a sense of belonging and validation as part of higher education. To this end, our engagement-rules are centrally geared towards fostering an identity-safe space wherein respect and appreciation for multiculturalism supports multifaceted perspectives, approaches, and calls for impact we embrace in our team, and which resonate through our collaborative and individual projects.
