Teaching Interests

I primarily teach courses in social, cognitive, and introductory psychology as well as history of psychology. I have also taught courses in forensic psychology, personality psychology, and psychopathology.

 

Research Interests

I am interested in the cognitive and social psychological processes that affect human behaviour within the legal system. I have conducted and published research on investigative interviewing, eyewitness memory, legal decision-making (e.g., alibi assessment), and school-based policing.
