WELCOME TO THE

SEED LAB

We are the Social, Emotional, and Equity Development Lab at the University of British Columbia - Okanagan.

 

In our lab, we investigate how inequities map onto differences in social and emotional development.

Research

Our lab is dedicated to conducting research on youth mental health well-being that has real-world applications. For example, what methods for managing emotions tend to be most successful? Does poverty influence how we see ourselves and our well-being? How does gender identity impact how students experience university?
