Dr. Darrin Rogers
The next session of the Fredonia Brown Bag Lunch Series will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
The series will feature Dr. Darrin Rogers and students discussing the Border Experiences Project, “Emerging Adulthood at SUNY Fredonia: Gender, Mental Health, and Online Presence.”
The event is at noon in Williams Center S204-ABC. Dr. Rogers is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology.
Rogers and senior Psychology majors Twyla Bernegger, Robert Zuidema, Destiny Rose-Meacham, and Jordan Drake will present results from an ongoing study of emerging adulthood with a Fredonia student sample, focusing on Markers of Adulthood (MoA), cultural milestones or characteristics that identify adults, such as getting a driver’s license, having children, or drinking alcohol. Rogers noted that emerging adults have particular opinions about which gender(s) some MoAs are more relevant for, and there are gender differences in the opinions. Data and discussion about the gender (and gendered) effects will be presented, as well as associations with online involvement and indicators of students' mental health.
Funding for the Brown Bag series of presentations is provided from the Carnahan Jackson Fund for the Humanities of the Fredonia College Foundation.
