About
I'm a third year doctoral candidate working on my PhD in Social Psychology at the University of Virginia. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Women's Studies from Allegheny College in 2006 and my Master of Arts degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in 2009 where I worked with Dr. Tom Pyszczynski (co-developer of terror management theory). While there, I studied the existential factors that motivate people to engage in, or endorse, violent (especially terrorist and extreme counterterrorist) acts toward people belonging to threatening groups. Now, I have begun working with my new advisors Dr. Jonathan Haidt (author of the Happiness Hypothesis, moral & political psychology) and Dr. Brian Nosek (Implicit Social Cognition, Project Implicit).
Generally, I am interested in the basic social cognitive processes and the complex existential motivations underlying group conflict.
