Dr. Gary Grady presented findings of his research on “Self-Esteem of Native American College Students” at a convention recently in Washington, D.C.
Thirty percent of Connors’ students are Native American, and Grady spent five years gathering data from students in an effort to understand Native American self-esteem levels and the source of their sense of self-worth compared with non-Native students. He received a travel grant from the American Psychological Association to attend the convention, and he was invited by the Cultural Psychology Division of the APA.
In September, Grady was on a panel at the annual conference of the Oklahoma Network of Teachers of Psychology at Oklahoma State University that discussed best practices in teaching online classes. Grady, who teaches two online classes each semester at Connors in addition to his on-campus classes, shared his approaches to meeting some of the challenges they present.
A musician who performs regularly, Grady also sang two songs at the OSU conference that he wrote and uses to teach psychology — “The Psychology Psong” and “Freud Didn’t Start Psychology.” The songs are available on YouTube for classroom use.
