For prospective doctoral students: Dr. McCullough will be reviewing applications for a doctoral student to matriculate the 2026-2027 academic year.
For volunteer research assistants: To assess fit with the lab, please send a detailed email to Dr. McCullough (keiko.mccullough@du.edu) with 1) your research interests, 2) how you envision yourself contributing to the lab, and 3) your availability. A follow-up discussion about overall fit may be scheduled via Zoom or in person.
You may be a good fit for Dr. McCullough’s lab if:
You have unique ideas to contribute in relation to critical methods, media studies, psychology, and their intersections.
You’re interested in critical methodologies and/or visual research methods (both quantitative and qualitative).
You’re interested in an academic research career/have a strong and genuine interest in research.
You’re interested in assisting with research projects at all phases of the research process (e.g., from literature review to manuscript writing).
You enjoy collaborating with others and are open to sharing and receiving feedback.
You’re responsive to email, timely, and organized.
To ensure that students have the opportunity to be highly involved in multiple research projects, and to focus on providing quality mentorship, Dr. McCullough keeps their lab fairly small.
Students in Dr. McCullough’s lab will engage in the following activities depending upon the needs of specific projects: complete IRB submissions, literature review, measure selection, scale development, data collection/recruitment, interview transcription, data analysis, craft conference presentations, and manuscript writing.
As principal investigator, and as a co-author, Dr. McCullough often publishes within Asian American psychology and gender studies (e.g., men and masculinities). Co-authorship opportunities may present themselves during the manuscript writing process.
Lab members are expected to contribute to the lab for at least 1 full academic year, attend all lab meetings (held as needed, ranging from weekly to monthly), and independently complete assigned research tasks.
No, only students who regularly attend the lab meetings can participate.
Open Lab Meetings: For those interested in learning more about the lab and current projects (without committing to lab membership), Dr. McCullough opens their lab meetings to all students once or twice a year. If you are interested in attending an “open” lab meeting, please send Dr. McCullough your name and email address with the subject line “Open Lab Meeting.”
