SAVE THE DATE: MARCH/APRIL 2026!!!
SEE you in AQ NORTH!

We look forward to holding our next JEDAI Research Fair in March/April 2026.

In 2024, we held our first-ever SFU Department of Psychology JEDAI (Justice, Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, Accessibility, and Inclusion) Research Fair.
We just held our 2nd one on March 18th, 2025.

The JEDAI Research Fair is a celebration of SFU PSYC students’ research by, for, about, and with individuals and communities who have been historically underrepresented in psychology research. We showcase the diverse forms and foci of research by both undergraduate and graduate SFU PSYC students. Please note, when we say SFU PSYC students, we include students who are in PSYC/COGS/BNS! Majors and Minors or students who are intending in majoring or minoring in these programs are particularly welcome. 

Attendance at the Research Fair is OPEN to everyone. Are you an SFU student, please come and attending to support your fellow students! Presentations, however, are limited to SFU PSYC/COGS/BNS students. If that describes you, please consider joining us to present your research! Does the JEDAI Research Fair sound like an exciting opportunity for you? Do you have a relevant project you want to share? Come present your research! Submit your abstract to showcase your work!
