Trimble delivers address, is awarded spot on research panel

Joseph E. Trimble (Psychology) delivered an invited address titled “Interethnic Conflict, Colonialism, and Conflict Negotiations among American Indians: Perspectives from Intergroup Conflict Resolution Theory” at the Scripps College Humanities Institute series on “Continuing Invasion: Resistance, Resilience, and Re-invention among North American Indigenous Peoples” in Claremont, Calif., in March.

Also, Trimble recently was appointed to the expert panel on "Operationalizing Culture for Health Disparities Research," a project funded by the National Institutes of Health. The project is designed to accomplish four goals: 1) to scientifically define culture for application in health disparities research, 2) identify the domains of culture that influence health behavior, 3) specify the pathways by which these domains influence health behavior outcomes in diverse populations, and 4) propose a set of recommendations to guide both researchers and funders in the conceptualization and measurement of culture.
