Hi Hyo,
I gravitated towards your poster because being an minority myself, I have thought about how it could affect my family a lot. I really like how you decided to focus your research on how the children could be affected because I feel like that aspect is often overlooked. Do you think there is a realistic solution that can be implemented to at least lower how often it happens?

Hi, Hyo!
I think the impacts on the families of incarcerated people is a very under-researched topic- and it shows a general unwillingness to deal with the problem of incarceration in this nation. I haven't done much research on the topic, but I know it's a large problem. And I like that you're looking at this from a neurological/physiological perspective- we see the societal implications on the surface, but it's harder to see the individual damage done.

Hi Hyo,
As a Criminology and Criminal Justice major, I think that your topic really hit home. I myself have done research on this topic and the findings that I've gathered are completely heart-wrenching. I think that this aspect is the reason why I wanted to get involved with criminal justice but I see that you're a physiology and neurology major. Did this research impact you in any way at all to continue doing work with this side of justice?

Hey Hyo,
I was drawn to your poster because it was a topic for another class of mine this semester. I learned that those minorities who parents are subjected to incarceration are more likely to have lower educational attainment and chronic stress. My question is whether are comparative to other kids in different countries whose parents are incarcerated?

Hi Hyo! Your presentation caught my eye because I actually researched this issue last semester. Something I learned was that 1 in 3 black men are incarcerated compared to 1 in 17 black men. I am wondering what you think we should do to spread awareness about the urgency of this issue?
