--> 00:04:20,224 And I've been at PSU for ten years now. 158 00:04:20,224 --> 00:04:22,850 For the past 19 years or so, 159 00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:25,550 I have studied what keeps employees happy, 160 00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:27,859 healthy, engaged, and productive. 161 00:04:27,859 --> 00:04:29,750 And yes, I do believe that all of that 162 00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:32,330 is possible at the same time, 163 00:04:32,330 --> 00:04:34,985 under that bigger Research umbrella, 164 00:04:34,985 --> 00:04:38,254 I have focused on things such as 165 00:04:38,254 --> 00:04:39,890 links between stress at 166 00:04:39,890 --> 00:04:42,844 work and employee well-being. 167 00:04:42,844 --> 00:04:45,290 The question of how employees would 168 00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:47,179 cover and unwind from 169 00:04:47,179 --> 00:04:49,175 work demands during breaks 170 00:04:49,175 --> 00:04:51,169 and doing times outside of work. 171 00:04:51,169 --> 00:04:52,730 So for example, the lunch break, 172 00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:55,775 the evening, the weekend, or the vacation. 173 00:04:55,775 --> 00:04:57,410 And I've also studied 174 00:04:57,410 --> 00:04:58,760 other phenomena are related 175 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,619 to work-life balance. 176 00:05:00,619 --> 00:05:03,409 And while I continue doing 177 00:05:03,409 --> 00:05:04,459 that kind of research 178 00:05:04,459 --> 00:05:05,899 and research in that area, 179 00:05:05,899 --> 00:05:09,409 I have also shifted my focus a little 180 00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,060 bit more towards positive 181 00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:13,055 phenomena in the workplace. 182 00:05:13,055 --> 00:05:14,825 And I'm now leading 183 00:05:14,825 --> 00:05:16,490 the research lab on 184 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:19,159 Positive Organizational Psychology. 185 00:05:19,159 --> 00:05:21,034 We call it the pop lab. 186 00:05:21,034 --> 00:05:23,570 Feel free to check our website. 187 00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:26,314 And in the context of that research, 188 00:05:26,314 --> 00:05:30,200 I focus on things such as how do 189 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,780 people positively reconnect to 190 00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:35,029 work after time away from, 191 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:36,530 from work to kind of like how do 192 00:05:36,530 --> 00:05:38,299 they tune in back 193 00:05:38,299 --> 00:05:39,769 into work to then 194 00:05:39,769 --> 00:05:42,350 be engaged throughout the work day. 195 00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:45,200 Something else I'll, I study is, for example, 196 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,299 also how people manage 197 00:05:47,299 --> 00:05:49,790 their entity throughout the workday. 198 00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:51,680 And how these strategies 199 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,539 related to energy management then 200 00:05:53,539 --> 00:05:55,399 create positive outcomes for 201 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,950 employees and their organizations. 202 00:05:57,950 --> 00:06:00,319 And the third example I want to 203 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,374 mention is I study 204 00:06:02,374 --> 00:06:04,790 how people save or 205 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:07,295 positive experiences in the workplace. 206 00:06:07,295 --> 00:06:09,739 And savoring is about noticing 207 00:06:09,739 --> 00:06:12,394 positive experiences as they occur, 208 00:06:12,394 --> 00:06:14,600 connecting them to positive emotions, 209 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,799 and then prolonging 210 00:06:15,799 --> 00:06:18,184 those emotions a little bit more. 211 00:06:18,184 --> 00:06:20,869 I always say it's about taking in the good, 212 00:06:20,869 --> 00:06:23,300 not just noticing, but actually taking it in. 213 00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:24,529 And I'm very excited about 214 00:06:24,529 --> 00:06:27,679 that research and Over 215 00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:28,729 the last couple of months, 216 00:06:28,729 --> 00:06:30,694 I've thought about all the many ways 217 00:06:30,694 --> 00:06:32,509 in which this kind of research 218 00:06:32,509 --> 00:06:34,609 relates to explore experiences 219 00:06:34,609 --> 00:06:36,785 that employees and work organizations. 220 00:06:36,785 --> 00:06:38,899 Currently half and I'd like 221 00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:41,330 to share three different reflections. 222 00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:43,219 And of course I assume there are many more, 223 00:06:43,219 --> 00:06:45,365 but I chose those three. 224 00:06:45,365 --> 00:06:47,944 The first one focuses on 225 00:06:47,944 --> 00:06:49,670 the context of work stress 226 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:51,125 and employee well-being. 227 00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:55,610 And lately, many stories have 228 00:06:55,610 --> 00:06:57,169 been written in the media about 229 00:06:57,169 --> 00:07:00,230 transitioning into working from home. 230 00:07:00,230 --> 00:07:01,850 And I thought I should write about 231 00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:03,380 it since I'm an expert in the field. 232 00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:05,150 And I went online and I already saw 233 00:07:05,150 --> 00:07:07,010 a million stories and I 234 00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,334 got bombarded with them as well. 235 00:07:09,334 --> 00:07:10,640 I think what's really important to 236 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,230 point out is that working 237 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:15,560 remotely is not the same as working from 238 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,390 home during a pandemic 239 00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:19,189 or shelter and place scenario. 240 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,719 And I feel like that's important to 241 00:07:20,719 --> 00:07:23,600 understand for employees and 242 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,770 for organizations and 243 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:27,154 organizational leaders because there are 244 00:07:27,154 --> 00:07:29,420 additional demands at work 245 00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:32,030 and at home at this current time. 246 00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:34,640 And I encouraged employees to 247 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,760 really have some self-compassion and to say, 248 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,814 this is a moment of difficulty, 249 00:07:39,814 --> 00:07:43,250 and difficulty is part of being human. 250 00:07:43,250 --> 00:07:44,930 But may I be kind? 251 00:07:44,930 --> 00:07:46,835 Bma, I became myself 252 00:07:46,835 --> 00:07:49,280 Koch organizational leaders to pay 253 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,560 attention to what employees 254 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,545 need in terms of support at this moment. 255 00:07:54,545 --> 00:07:55,954 Because what I hear 256 00:07:55,954 --> 00:07:57,680 about all these different workplaces at 257 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,179 the moment is employees 258 00:07:59,179 --> 00:08:01,085 need a lot of different things. 259 00:08:01,085 --> 00:08:02,660 And if you don't ask what they need, 260 00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:04,639 you can't really adequately support them. 261 00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:06,170 So I encouraged organizational 262 00:08:06,170 --> 00:08:07,654 leaders to really ask, 263 00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:10,175 what do you need? How can I help you? 264 00:08:10,175 --> 00:08:12,590 The second thing I want to bring 265 00:08:12,590 --> 00:08:14,120 up is related to 266 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,190 my research on recovery 267 00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:18,215 and unwinding from work demands. 268 00:08:18,215 --> 00:08:19,640 My own research. 269 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,814 And the research of other research 270 00:08:21,814 --> 00:08:23,840 has shown that something what we 271 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,510 call psychological detachment seems 272 00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:27,739 to be crucial for 273 00:08:27,739 --> 00:08:30,169 employee well being and 274 00:08:30,169 --> 00:08:32,179 it helps to reduce distress. 275 00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:34,040 By psychological detachment, we 276 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,689 mean mentally letting go 277 00:08:35,689 --> 00:08:39,515 from work when we leave the workplace. 278 00:08:39,515 --> 00:08:41,210 Well, currently we have 279 00:08:41,210 --> 00:08:44,509 scenarios where some of us 280 00:08:44,509 --> 00:08:46,760 have overlap in terms of 281 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,559 the physical workspace between 282 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,554 kind of work and home, right? 283 00:08:50,554 --> 00:08:52,670 And it might make it a lot harder 284 00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:55,099 to detach from work, therefore. 285 00:08:55,099 --> 00:08:56,809 And then we have others.

00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,450 we are need for other people, 428 00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:10,399 is a core human need. 429 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:11,570 And so it's very 430 00:14:11,570 --> 00:14:13,399 natural for us to want to reach 431 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:15,169 out to be with 432 00:14:15,169 --> 00:14:17,885 other people when we're very stressed. 433 00:14:17,885 --> 00:14:19,400 So that's something that 434 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,869 I'll come back to in terms of 435 00:14:20,869 --> 00:14:23,119 how my work is 436 00:14:23,119 --> 00:14:26,010 being influenced in the current moment. 437 00:14:26,260 --> 00:14:28,849 So we know that these health, 438 00:14:28,849 --> 00:14:31,070 high-quality social relationships are 439 00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:32,870 really important to our health. 440 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:34,549 In fact, there's some evidence to 441 00:14:34,549 --> 00:14:36,560 show that it's as important as 442 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,910 cigarette smoking than it 443 00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:39,230 may be more important than 444 00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:41,419 physical activity in terms 445 00:14:41,419 --> 00:14:43,669 of determining our ultimate health outcomes. 446 00:14:43,669 --> 00:14:45,440 So they're very, very 447 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,109 important in, in my lab, 448 00:14:48,109 --> 00:14:49,639 what we do is we look at how 449 00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:52,489 our relationships play out in daily life, 450 00:14:52,489 --> 00:14:55,174 everyday interactions that people have, 451 00:14:55,174 --> 00:14:57,769 whether they are uplifting or 452 00:14:57,769 --> 00:15:01,400 they are detrimental or harmful or critical. 453 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,009 Not necessarily sort of the extreme of 454 00:15:04,009 --> 00:15:07,279 things in terms of like abuse or neglect. 455 00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:11,359 But even just everyday typical behavior 456 00:15:11,359 --> 00:15:13,939 where we might be criticized or 457 00:15:13,939 --> 00:15:17,630 have this kind of negative interaction with 458 00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:20,090 people and how those are 459 00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:21,199 some of the most stressful 460 00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:23,029 experiences that we have. 461 00:15:23,029 --> 00:15:25,520 That they are very potent 462 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,839 in terms of predicting 463 00:15:26,839 --> 00:15:28,880 our emotional well-being. 464 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,540 So, you know, on the other hand, 465 00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,130 what we're interested in doing is 466 00:15:34,130 --> 00:15:35,990 thinking about on the other side of things, 467 00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:38,224 how do we build a strong relationship? 468 00:15:38,224 --> 00:15:39,770 So what does it mean to 469 00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:41,299 have a strong relationship? 470 00:15:41,299 --> 00:15:43,040 And how the research 471 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,274 is pointing to this idea of how 472 00:15:45,274 --> 00:15:47,539 it's so important to 473 00:15:47,539 --> 00:15:50,150 feel understood, to feel validated, 474 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:53,660 to make you feel like you're cared for by 475 00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:56,780 your relationship partners and what are 476 00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:58,399 the processes by which we 477 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,530 come to feel that way? 478 00:16:00,530 --> 00:16:02,000 And so for a long time, 479 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,169 research has looked at things 480 00:16:03,169 --> 00:16:04,400 like social support and 481 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,949 how people Respond to you when 482 00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:08,240 you're feeling down or 483 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,114 things are not going well. 484 00:16:10,114 --> 00:16:12,455 And as we've turned a corner 485 00:16:12,455 --> 00:16:14,780 to look at more positive processes, 486 00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:17,449 similar to what Charlotte describes. 487 00:16:17,449 --> 00:16:19,130 What we're finding is that 488 00:16:19,130 --> 00:16:20,600 how people respond to 489 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,839 you when things are going well or write, 490 00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:25,580 or when you have some kind of 491 00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:28,399 an achievement or you've met some goal that 492 00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:30,020 you've been striving for 493 00:16:30,020 --> 00:16:31,700 that that's actually very 494 00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,709 important to so we 495 00:16:33,709 --> 00:16:35,869 call it a process of capitalisation. 496 00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:39,830 So how people respond to your good moments 497 00:16:39,830 --> 00:16:44,839 is as diagnostic of whether they understand, 498 00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:45,919 validate, and care for 499 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,469 you as how they respond when, 500 00:16:48,469 --> 00:16:51,094 when things are stressful or down. 501 00:16:51,094 --> 00:16:52,969 So this is a process that 502 00:16:52,969 --> 00:16:54,635 we've been looking at over time. 503 00:16:54,635 --> 00:16:56,375 We've been looking at, 504 00:16:56,375 --> 00:16:59,119 we often do daily diary studies. 505 00:16:59,119 --> 00:17:00,919 What we found in our own work 506 00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:02,599 is that when you have people 507 00:17:02,599 --> 00:17:06,019 who are responsive in your networks, 508 00:17:06,019 --> 00:17:08,225 but especially looking at, you know, 509 00:17:08,225 --> 00:17:09,979 oftentimes it's framed in terms 510 00:17:09,979 --> 00:17:13,465 of romantic partners because those are the, 511 00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:18,035 the most central providers 512 00:17:18,035 --> 00:17:20,539 of our emotional well-being. 513 00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:23,089 And how those interactions 514 00:17:23,089 --> 00:17:25,700 then do things like they produce pain, 515 00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,744 they, they improve our sleep quality. 516 00:17:28,744 --> 00:17:30,859 When we can look and see 517 00:17:30,859 --> 00:17:34,400 how a good reaction on a given day 518 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,964 from a partner would actually 519 00:17:36,964 --> 00:17:38,630 improve the sleep of 520 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:40,445 the individual Bat Night. 521 00:17:40,445 --> 00:17:43,429 So we can even trace it down to that level. 522 00:17:43,429 --> 00:17:45,980 And how part of this happens, because it, 523 00:17:45,980 --> 00:17:47,480 it reduces our feelings 524 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,664 of loneliness and an R 525 00:17:48,664 --> 00:17:49,939 increases our sense of 526 00:17:49,939 --> 00:17:52,519 closeness with the, with the partner. 527 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:55,339 So these are the kinds of things that, 528 00:17:55,339 --> 00:17:57,079 that my team and I have 529 00:17:57,079 --> 00:17:59,779 been unpacking over time. 530 00:17:59,779 --> 00:18:02,330 And so as we turn our attention 531 00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:05,210 to the shelter and place roles 532 00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:06,740 and thinking about What's 533 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:08,239 happening right now in 534 00:18:08,239 --> 00:18:10,609 our context as someone 535 00:18:10,609 --> 00:18:12,319 who studies social relationships, 536 00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:14,180 it's like we've just had 537 00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:17,450 this really dramatic intervention 538 00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:18,740 to our relationships. 539 00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:20,810 And so yeah, 540 00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:22,970 there's a lot to be concerned about in 541 00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:25,880 terms of social isolation and 542 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,919 the negative repercussions 543 00:18:27,919 --> 00:18:29,089 that can come from that. 544 00:18:29,089 --> 00:18:32,419 And how are people trying to stay connected? 545 00:18:32,419 --> 00:18:34,430 And especially because this 546 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:35,830 is a core human needs. 547 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:37,820 So we end, if we're stressed, 548 00:18:37,820 --> 00:18:39,680 we really want to reach out to people. 549 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,965 So encouraging things like what, 550 00:18:42,965 --> 00:18:44,209 you know, what I like 551 00:18:44,209 --> 00:18:46,670 to call distant socializing. 552 00:18:46,670 --> 00:18:48,754 So how we make sure that we read, 553 00:18:48,754 --> 00:18:51,409 maintain these connections and stay 554 00:18:51,409 --> 00:18:54,020 connected to people at 555 00:18:54,020 --> 00:18:56,480 times when we're really having 556 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240 to stay more socially isolated, 557 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,655 then what is natural and how 558 00:19:01,655 --> 00:19:04,190 I believe that's something 559 00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:07,219 that probably makes this experience 560 00:19:07,219 --> 00:19:09,875 more stressful than we might think, 561 00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:11,389 oh, hanging out a home. 562 00:19:11,389 --> 00:19:13,760 What's, what's tough about that? 563 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,890 And it's like, well, it's 564 00:19:15,890 --> 00:19:18,710 not a natural thing for us to be doing. 565 00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:21,470 So I think, you know what, 566 00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:24,109 what I am focusing 567 00:19:24,109 --> 00:19:26,765 on is like how are people responding? 568 00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:28,430 This moment in terms of 569 00:19:28,430 --> 00:19:30,200 what is their loneliness like, 570 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,169 is this a situation that's going to lead 571 00:19:33,169 --> 00:19:34,309 to higher levels of 572 00:19:34,309 --> 00:19:36,395 depression and things like that. 573 00:19:36,395 --> 00:19:37,339 On the other hand, 574 00:19:37,339 --> 00:19:38,569 what are the things that people 575 00:19:38,569 --> 00:19:40,609 are doing that can buffer against that? 576 00:19:40,609 --> 00:19:43,009 So, you know, if we're feeling lonely, 577 00:19:43,009 --> 00:19:45,079 we might have a tendency to 578 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:48,275 withdraw from social interaction further. 579 00:19:48,275 --> 00:19:52,265 But, you know, if you know, so for example, 580 00:19:52,265 --> 00:19:53,599 looking at how people 581 00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:55,280 are responding right now, 582 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,769 they may do things like watch Netflix 583 00:19:57,769 --> 00:19:59,209 or do you watch 584 00:19:59,209 --> 00:20:00,589 movies or something like that? 585 00:20:00,589 --> 00:20:02,405 But, you know, can we 586 00:20:02,405 --> 00:20:04,340 consider watching done as a group? 587 00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:05,899 Is there a way of increasing 588 00:20:05,899 --> 00:20:07,039 that social interaction? 589 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,749 I think the good thing about 590 00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:10,760 the time in our lives that this has 591 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,140 happened is that we have 592 00:20:12,140 --> 00:20:14,899 technology which can really 593 00:20:14,899 --> 00:20:17,089 facilitate 594 00:20:17,089 --> 00:20:19,909 our connections on social interactions. 595 00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:21,319 And, and we can think 596 00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:24,005 about ways of staying connected. 597 00:20:24,005 --> 00:20:27,710 And I think what's also 598 00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:29,389 really important is remembering 599 00:20:29,389 --> 00:20:30,890 to celebrate the good things. 600 00:20:30,890 --> 00:20:33,649 So because we know 601 00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:35,629 that's really important for 602 00:20:35,629 --> 00:20:37,385 our health and well-being. 603 00:20:37,385 --> 00:20:40,219 So thinking creatively about, you know, 604 00:20:40,219 --> 00:20:40,759 if we can't have 605 00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:42,619 a birthday party and the traditional way, 606 00:20:42,619 --> 00:20:44,120 how can we do this in a way 607 00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:46,010 that's still going to, you know, 608 00:20:46,010 --> 00:20:48,739 as Charlotte talked about savoring the moment 609 00:20:48,739 --> 00:20:50,479 but not 610 00:20:50,479 --> 00:20:52,955 jeopardizing our health and the process. 611 00:20:52,955 --> 00:20:56,554 So and that's what's going to help us 612 00:20:56,554 --> 00:21:00,440 stay sheltered and place for as long as is 613 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,070 necessary so I can 614 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:05,750 put up the website at 615 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:07,670 a later point, whatever's convenient. 616 00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,019 But one of the things we're really 617 00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:10,700 interested in doing is hearing from 618 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:12,680 students about 619 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,780 their experience during the pandemic. 620 00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:17,720 So we actually launched a study look at 621 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,309 what are the kinds of things students are 622 00:21:19,309 --> 00:21:21,124 doing during this time to, 623 00:21:21,124 --> 00:21:22,489 to think about their, 624 00:21:22,489 --> 00:21:24,304 their health, their well-being. 625 00:21:24,304 --> 00:21:26,075 How are they, how, 626 00:21:26,075 --> 00:21:29,180 how are they sheltering and in place? 627 00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:30,350 And how are they 628 00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:32,480 managing during their daily life, 629 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,549 during this period of social isolation? 630 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:37,429 So we'd really love to hear from 631 00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:38,810 students and learn more 632 00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:40,730 about their experience. 633 00:21:40,730 --> 00:21:43,985 So, so with that, I'll turn it over. 634 00:21:43,985 --> 00:21:46,489 Great pinkish and what a great invitation 635 00:21:46,489 --> 00:21:47,390 for students to have 636 00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:48,724 an impact in the research space. 637 00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:51,559 Yeah, so next is 638 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:54,929 Darrow shift from PSUs sociology department. 639 00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:00,440 So I wasn't going to make 640 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,760 slides within my department. 641 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,049 Happy hour got canceled and I 642 00:22:03,049 --> 00:22:10,009 felt guilty, more nervous. 643 00:22:10,009 --> 00:22:16,730 Is it working? Yes. Looks good. 644 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:20,404 Okay. So I'm a sociologist of education. 645 00:22:20,404 --> 00:22:23,149 I focus on cognitive disabilities, 646 00:22:23,149 --> 00:22:26,060 learning disabilities, autism, ADHD. 647 00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:27,769 Also focus on the experience of 648 00:22:27,769 --> 00:22:30,994 teaching US social psychological hell. 649 00:22:30,994 --> 00:22:32,494 So funding from 650 00:22:32,494 --> 00:22:33,560 the National Science Foundation 651 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,629 supports my research on the school and 652 00:22:35,629 --> 00:22:37,820 teacher factors that reduce disparities and 653 00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,200 adolescence math and science 654 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,489 progress by disability, 655 00:22:40,489 --> 00:22:43,040 race Socioeconomic status. I'm gonna talk 656 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,389 about socioeconomic status 657 00:22:44,389 --> 00:22:46,190 a lot and just say SES. 658 00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:47,779 So the NSF funding and 659 00:22:47,779 --> 00:22:49,190 funding from PSUs build 660 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:51,229 exit program contribute to 661 00:22:51,229 --> 00:22:52,730 the best part of my job training 662 00:22:52,730 --> 00:22:54,139 and working with PSUs. 663 00:22:54,139 --> 00:22:56,330 Excellent graduate and undergraduate students 664 00:22:56,330 --> 00:22:58,010 who are on this slide. 665 00:22:58,010 --> 00:22:59,870 Prior to entering academia, 666 00:22:59,870 --> 00:23:00,740 I taught math that 667 00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:01,849 two middle schools that are at 668 00:23:01,849 --> 00:23:02,929 the opposite ends of the 669 00:23:02,929 --> 00:23:04,400 socioeconomic spectrum. 670 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,409 And that made it really clear to me 671 00:23:06,409 --> 00:23:07,550 how powerfully 672 00:23:07,550 --> 00:23:08,930 our children's lives are shaped 673 00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:11,914 by segregation across the US and 674 00:23:11,914 --> 00:23:15,199 neighborhood schools by SES, and race. 675 00:23:15,199 --> 00:23:16,789 And so a common theme across all of 676 00:23:16,789 --> 00:23:18,499 my research is how inequality 677 00:23:18,499 --> 00:23:19,609 outside of schools effects 678 00:23:19,609 --> 00:23:21,440 processes inside 679 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,900 schools and educational outcomes. 680 00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:26,300 And social inequality is 681 00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:28,250 fundamentally inner bound. 682 00:23:28,250 --> 00:23:29,885 And the pandemic we keep hearing, 683 00:23:29,885 --> 00:23:31,159 we're all in this together. 684 00:23:31,159 --> 00:23:32,660 But the truth is that summer in 685 00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:34,939 it to a much greater degree than others. 686 00:23:34,939 --> 00:23:36,379 In many ways, we're saving 687 00:23:36,379 --> 00:23:37,579 lives on the backs of 688 00:23:37,579 --> 00:23:39,094 socio-economically disadvantaged 689 00:23:39,094 --> 00:23:40,745 parents and their children. 690 00:23:40,745 --> 00:23:43,084 For one, people who were already 691 00:23:43,084 --> 00:23:44,360 economically vulnerable are more 692 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,490 likely to have been laid off. 693 00:23:46,490 --> 00:23:48,470 And then Linda residue, 694 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:50,030 although she's a sociologists 695 00:23:50,030 --> 00:23:51,439 of education at Purdue, 696 00:23:51,439 --> 00:23:52,790 she describe schools as 697 00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:54,650 essential institutions and not 698 00:23:54,650 --> 00:23:56,569 only for the obvious reasons, 699 00:23:56,569 --> 00:23:59,659 ostensibly build competent workers, citizens, 700 00:23:59,659 --> 00:24:01,399 but for all of 701 00:24:01,399 --> 00:24:03,169 the visible and invisible resources 702 00:24:03,169 --> 00:24:04,099 they provide to students 703 00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:04,879 and their families to 704 00:24:04,879 --> 00:24:06,634 things that Cynthia was talking about, 705 00:24:06,634 --> 00:24:09,530 human connection and culture building, 706 00:24:09,530 --> 00:24:11,045 social capital. 707 00:24:11,045 --> 00:24:13,069 But these essential institutions have been 708 00:24:13,069 --> 00:24:14,360 dramatically altered through 709 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,709 the response to the pandemic, 710 00:24:15,709 --> 00:24:17,689 with the vast majority shifted 711 00:24:17,689 --> 00:24:20,659 to being remote for the indefinite future. 712 00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:22,820 And we hear I'm sure 713 00:24:22,820 --> 00:24:23,690 everyone's hearing a lot 714 00:24:23,690 --> 00:24:25,265 of stories from parents. 715 00:24:25,265 --> 00:24:27,949 Billing distress as the responsibility PER, 716 00:24:27,949 --> 00:24:29,750 educating in caring for their children 717 00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:30,829 during the day has shifted 718 00:24:30,829 --> 00:24:31,925 from schools to them. 719 00:24:31,925 --> 00:24:33,170 And it really demonstrates 720 00:24:33,170 --> 00:24:34,460 how schools are central, 721 00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:36,739 so social institutions and 722 00:24:36,739 --> 00:24:38,029 demonstrates how challenging 723 00:24:38,029 --> 00:24:39,545 the work of teaching can be. 724 00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:41,990 Teachers not only shape individual lives, 725 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:43,379 direct our broader culture and 726 00:24:43,379 --> 00:24:45,544 on our national future. 727 00:24:45,544 --> 00:24:47,779 And the thing I've been thinking 728 00:24:47,779 --> 00:24:50,449 about mostly is that 729 00:24:50,449 --> 00:24:52,249 not being able to go to school 730 00:24:52,249 --> 00:24:53,705 might pose more cost 731 00:24:53,705 --> 00:24:56,390 and lower SES you Lynn for higher ITS youth. 732 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:58,129 And a lot of ways, even in 733 00:24:58,129 --> 00:25:00,200 non pandemic times, SES, 734 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,630 differences in the rate of learning are 735 00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:04,249 especially apparent during the summer 736 00:25:04,249 --> 00:25:05,659 when kids are out of school. 737 00:25:05,659 --> 00:25:07,700 In other words, higher SES kids 738 00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:09,635 continue to learn when they're out of school. 739 00:25:09,635 --> 00:25:11,989 Whereas lower SES, kids have less access to 740 00:25:11,989 --> 00:25:13,369 resources outside of school 741 00:25:13,369 --> 00:25:14,465 that build their learning. 742 00:25:14,465 --> 00:25:16,235 And so the consequences 743 00:25:16,235 --> 00:25:17,929 of remote learning are likely to be 744 00:25:17,929 --> 00:25:20,089 more dire and enduring for 745 00:25:20,089 --> 00:25:23,660 lower SES youth compared to higher SES youth. 746 00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:26,390 This is a screenshot from 747 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:27,560 my fifth grade nephews 748 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,064 firstname virtual school last month, 749 00:25:30,064 --> 00:25:31,459 and about every other message 750 00:25:31,459 --> 00:25:32,119 on the screen from 751 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,439 the same kid saying hello 752 00:25:33,439 --> 00:25:34,985 to the teacher, Mr. Clay. 753 00:25:34,985 --> 00:25:36,110 And there's many varieties, 754 00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:37,280 as you can imagine. 755 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,329 As though I had to check with 756 00:25:38,329 --> 00:25:39,529 my sister the next day to see if 757 00:25:39,529 --> 00:25:40,550 Mr. Clay was even still 758 00:25:40,550 --> 00:25:42,244 working up, we'd just quit. 759 00:25:42,244 --> 00:25:44,569 So as difficult as it is for teachers to 760 00:25:44,569 --> 00:25:46,969 maintain engagement and order and person, 761 00:25:46,969 --> 00:25:49,504 it seems near impossible from a distance. 762 00:25:49,504 --> 00:25:50,809 And then other issues 763 00:25:50,809 --> 00:25:51,919 related to remote learning 764 00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:54,139 or magnified for lower SES kids. 765 00:25:54,139 --> 00:25:55,490 All kids are experiencing 766 00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:57,050 inferior curriculum right now, 767 00:25:57,050 --> 00:25:58,579 but lower SES kids also 768 00:25:58,579 --> 00:26:01,039 have less access to high-speed internet. 769 00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:02,749 Their parents had less time 770 00:26:02,749 --> 00:26:04,325 and resources to facilitate 771 00:26:04,325 --> 00:26:05,689 educational experiences at 772 00:26:05,689 --> 00:26:07,550 home.

Also on the team level, 1399 00:48:49,939 --> 00:48:51,290 if we can create 1400 00:48:51,290 --> 00:48:54,439 flexibility for our employees by 1401 00:48:54,439 --> 00:48:56,509 letting them work from home more as 1402 00:48:56,509 --> 00:48:59,030 they need with the tools that they need. 1403 00:48:59,030 --> 00:49:00,740 And that could be, for example, 1404 00:49:00,740 --> 00:49:02,690 one forward step in terms 1405 00:49:02,690 --> 00:49:05,089 of kind of creating a new, 1406 00:49:05,089 --> 00:49:07,669 a new rules and plans on how to work. 1407 00:49:07,669 --> 00:49:08,810 So I feel like that that could be 1408 00:49:08,810 --> 00:49:10,279 something I think something else I 1409 00:49:10,279 --> 00:49:11,299 want to bring up is also 1410 00:49:11,299 --> 00:49:13,265 the point of burnout. 1411 00:49:13,265 --> 00:49:17,509 So some portions of 1412 00:49:17,509 --> 00:49:20,749 workers are under higher demands 1413 00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:22,805 at work and at home right now. 1414 00:49:22,805 --> 00:49:24,379 And so that means there are, 1415 00:49:24,379 --> 00:49:26,719 of course at risk of burnout. 1416 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,585 So while they might be able to 1417 00:49:29,585 --> 00:49:33,275 get us through this phase of high demand, 1418 00:49:33,275 --> 00:49:34,879 we need to be careful of 1419 00:49:34,879 --> 00:49:36,440 what is going on afterwards. 1420 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,254 Because often from a health perspective, 1421 00:49:38,254 --> 00:49:39,529 when we're in a fight or 1422 00:49:39,529 --> 00:49:41,359 flight response and we are 1423 00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:45,035 activated and we're dealing with the threat, 1424 00:49:45,035 --> 00:49:46,354 we can do that, 1425 00:49:46,354 --> 00:49:48,395 we are very capable of that. 1426 00:49:48,395 --> 00:49:51,184 But then there is a recovery time from that. 1427 00:49:51,184 --> 00:49:52,759 And so that means we need to be 1428 00:49:52,759 --> 00:49:55,159 careful and be aware of something 1429 00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:57,770 that might then occur as a result of that on 1430 00:49:57,770 --> 00:50:02,299 a physical or mental level for employees. 1431 00:50:02,299 --> 00:50:04,010 When we transition fully 1432 00:50:04,010 --> 00:50:05,299 back into what we call 1433 00:50:05,299 --> 00:50:06,829 normal or the new normal 1434 00:50:06,829 --> 00:50:08,899 or whichever label you want to give it. 1435 00:50:08,899 --> 00:50:10,459 So I think that's something that 1436 00:50:10,459 --> 00:50:13,320 organizations need to be aware of as well. 1437 00:50:14,590 --> 00:50:18,080 Yeah, I'll just say I've heard a lot of 1438 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,500 anecdotal reports, Charlotte, the track, 1439 00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:22,789 what you're saying that people are 1440 00:50:22,789 --> 00:50:27,229 realizing how maybe they can do 1441 00:50:27,229 --> 00:50:28,819 things differently than they 1442 00:50:28,819 --> 00:50:30,619 used to in terms of 1443 00:50:30,619 --> 00:50:32,405 work productivity or 1444 00:50:32,405 --> 00:50:35,090 different approaches to doing things. 1445 00:50:35,090 --> 00:50:37,234 And I, I do think, I mean, 1446 00:50:37,234 --> 00:50:39,439 it will it by all accounts, 1447 00:50:39,439 --> 00:50:40,789 it does seem to be that it'll 1448 00:50:40,789 --> 00:50:42,679 be a stepped process, 1449 00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:44,809 that it won't be all or nothing the way 1450 00:50:44,809 --> 00:50:47,809 the beginning part more or less was. 1451 00:50:47,809 --> 00:50:49,519 And I think it's 1452 00:50:49,519 --> 00:50:51,755 an opportunity really for us to 1453 00:50:51,755 --> 00:50:54,050 reevaluate how we do things and think 1454 00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:56,600 about what are the important elements. 1455 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,400 I mean, I, I, you know, 1456 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,769 as an interpersonal relationships person, 1457 00:51:00,769 --> 00:51:03,590 I think that the social connection, 1458 00:51:03,590 --> 00:51:05,300 the in-person stuff's going 1459 00:51:05,300 --> 00:51:07,489 to be important always. 1460 00:51:07,489 --> 00:51:11,105 I think, you know, people are missing it, 1461 00:51:11,105 --> 00:51:14,000 but, but I think that you may 1462 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,199 see more balance 1463 00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:16,549 between different approaches. 1464 00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:18,739 Maybe hybrid courses would 1465 00:51:18,739 --> 00:51:21,080 become more popular where we do 1466 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,060 certain things in the classroom in 1467 00:51:23,060 --> 00:51:24,919 person that 1468 00:51:24,919 --> 00:51:26,810 are specifically tailored for that. 1469 00:51:26,810 --> 00:51:27,829 But other parts of 1470 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:29,209 things that don't need to happen 1471 00:51:29,209 --> 00:51:31,804 in the classroom can can be online. 1472 00:51:31,804 --> 00:51:33,184 I mean, I don't know. 1473 00:51:33,184 --> 00:51:34,550 No, just speculating. 1474 00:51:34,550 --> 00:51:36,860 But I imagine that many of us will 1475 00:51:36,860 --> 00:51:41,010 be reevaluating how we approach things. 1476 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,639 I really thank you because it 1477 00:51:43,639 --> 00:51:45,469 really suggests that maybe we're 1478 00:51:45,469 --> 00:51:47,419 learning and we'll be changing some over 1479 00:51:47,419 --> 00:51:49,309 actions from the social distancing time. 1480 00:51:49,309 --> 00:51:50,810 I'm wondering dare, if you think 1481 00:51:50,810 --> 00:51:51,649 the same might be 1482 00:51:51,649 --> 00:51:52,970 happening in future classroom. 1483 00:51:52,970 --> 00:51:54,334 Class sizes or 1484 00:51:54,334 --> 00:51:55,880 other things you have any thoughts 1485 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,149 and practice in the classroom 1486 00:51:59,149 --> 00:51:59,810 may also change 1487 00:51:59,810 --> 00:52:02,580 their practices in the workplace. 1488 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,849 That's my biggest fear is 1489 00:52:04,849 --> 00:52:07,289 that we'll never go back to normal. 1490 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,380 Yeah.
