In this exciting presentation and discussion, Sarah shared important moments in her research path and showcase how people and a sense of community were pivotal at key points in her career. We invited attendees to reflect on and share about the people, communities, and opportunities that have played key roles in their research journeys. We concluded by looking forward to ways that we can build research communities at different levels of our career trajectories. There was time for Q and A. Dr. Sarah Ullrich-French is a Professor in COE’s Kinesiology & Educational Psychology Department and Co-Director of COE’s Psychology of Physical Activity Lab. Her research addresses the mechanisms that maximize positive physical activity experiences. Her formal training is in Kinesiology, with an emphasis on sport and exercise psychology and youth physical activity. Her interest in youth physical activity intersects with areas of social development, psychology, education, positive youth development, and health. Dr. Ullrich-French’s research focuses on social contextual and motivational processes in physical, social, and psychological development. One strand of her research involves examining physical activity motivational processes and behavioral outcomes in youth and adults. A second strand involves examining how physical contexts and interventions impact psychosocial, behavioral, and health outcomes. Her current research activities focus on the measurement and application of movement-based mindfulness as a potential mechanism to foster sustained engagement in physical activities.
