Join us on Thursday at 4 p.m. in Holland-Waller 209 for Dr. Huff's final seminar talk as a full-time faculty member at Harding!
Title: Advancing care for and from the whole person, beyond their professional identity
Abstract: In this seminar, I illustrate my active research that aligns with my mission to transform professional cultures, particularly in engineering, to be compassionate toward humanity. By establishing theoretical and methodological ways to access psychological phenomena that are often hidden in professional domains, I aim to change the ways that faculty, students, and professionals inter-personally relate to those within and outside engineering by altering the ways that they intra-personally understand who they are—their identities—in the context of their professions. Four strands of research support this career mission: 1) quality in interpretive research, 2) personal identity in professional settings, 3) professional shame in engineering, and 4) academic well-being in engineering faculty. In the seminar, I will demonstrate how activity in these four strands of research coalesce to create a clarified vision of how engineers could emanate and experience care in the context of their professions. I further illustrate how the unique culture of Harding is well-positioned to generate mission-focused scholarship from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives.
