Area of expertise

Teaching Stream, Social Psychology

My primary focus is on undergraduate teaching in the areas of statistics, research methods, and social psychology. I am mainly interested in improving students’ educational experiences by considering the classroom environment, interpersonal interactions, course content and activities, and course assessments. I am also interested in understanding how members of different social groups relate to each other and, in particular, how stereotypes and prejudices may affect intergroup relations. As a teaching professor, I do not supervise graduate students.
