More recent curiosities, often led by my student-researchers:
What is Gentle Parenting?
Implicit biases in college-course evaluations (e.g., how might instructor's attire or use of slang impact course ratings?).
What's new?
Dr. Nicole Wen (Brunel University in London) and I led a roundtable event (Teaching in Tandem: Enhancing Developmental Psychology Through Co-Instruction) at the Teaching Pre-conference, on April 30, for SRCD 2025:. Thanks for joining us!
Undergraduate researcher, Elizabeth (Eli) Arroyo, presented preliminary findings of our "Grandparent's parenting style" project (an assessment of self-identified Gentle Parents' own childhoods) at WPA 2025. See check our poster here.
Thank you to Drs. Jen Clegg, Katie Warnell (both at Texas State University in San Marcos), for facilitating the "Developmental Science at Non-R1 Institutions: Collaborative Strategies for Success" workshop at CDS 2024 . I co-led a successful round table discussion about balancing faculty responsibilities at non-R1 institutions and learned so much from fellow attendees!
