The Mindbridge Affiliate Program
The Mindbridge Research Program has partnered with human rights defenders to design and implement original research programs to further their work's impact and achieve their goals.
Mindbridge acts as the connecting point, catalyzing innovative research directions to investigate novel human rights work and social science approaches.
This affiliate program links labs worldwide to human rights topics and organizations to further the impact and reach possible. We welcome requests from scholarly research labs to join our dynamic and emerging affiliate program.
The Mindbridge Affiliate Program aims to encourage cross-laboratory and multidisciplinary research opportunities, foster student leadership, and grow a science-driven community working toward human rights efforts.
The affiliation aims to provide resources to registered organizations, strengthen student leadership, build community capital, and be a safe space for growth and support. An affiliation will grant researchers utilization of Mindbridge’s research and internship connections, as well as opportunities for students to develop key skills for graduate programs and applied scientific research outside of academia.
Current Research Topics
As a human rights organization with a background in psychology and neuroscience, our research endeavors can sometimes span a range of topics and collaborators.
Current foci of our research include, but are not limited to:
Intergroup Conflict
Implicit Bias
Belongingness
Empathic Response
Healing Racial Trauma
Countering Racially & Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism (REMVE)
Social Attitudes
Other Human Rights Topics
Sample Project:
The ongoing research project, "Exploring Domestic Extremism: Perspectives of Women in the Far-Right”, delves into the intricate dynamics underlying the promotion of political extremism, with a particular focus on the influence of women in perpetuating such narratives within their communities. Through a combination of focus groups and a national survey targeting women in far-right movements, the research seeks to explore the underlying psychological drivers of extremism within community contexts, shedding light on the ideologies and motivations of social groups like TradWives and Moms for Liberty. Ultimately, the project aims to identify potential points of intervention for countering extremist ideologies, informing the development of psychology-informed and evidence-based approaches to mitigating the impact of extremism.
