McBee Team

Drs. Amy Bonomi and Chris Gidycz led the group in a dancing exercise to get everyone up and moving after a long day. Presenters and mcBEE team members shared what energizes them.

Due to some technical difficulties we join this session a little bit late… but in it, Dr. Ann Coker presented on the need to publish prior to pursuing grant funding and how to obtain funding through various agencies. Specifics on funding mechanisms was presented and are available on the mcBEE website under 2018 meeting materials Day 2 PowerPoint presentation.

Dr. Danielle Davidov gave personal stories on her struggles with work life balance as a mom to a six month old little boy and offers examples on what has worked well. Dr. Sarah McMahon also talked about the struggles and successes of being a working mom in academia.

Drs. Suzanne Swan and Bonnie Fisher gave experiences and examples with interdisciplinary collaborations that have worked well and not worked so well for them in the past.  A common theme was that recognizing that the field of violence prevention cuts across multiple areas and therefore requires some flexibility.

Drs. Amy Bonomi and Chris Gidycz discussed student dynamics, and experiences in administrative roles.
