Bio/Research

I received my B.A. from Louisiana State University (2006) and my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Rochester (2016). I’ve held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Calgary (2016-2017) and the University of Toronto at Mississauga (2017-2020) and served as a research methodologist at the Offord Centre for Child Studies at McMaster University (2021-2022). I joined the faculty at Laurier in 2022.

My research draws on constructivist and systems theories to understand the development of—and interplay between—morally-relevant judgments, emotions, and behaviors in early and middle childhood. What are the various psychological, social, and contextual factors involved in children’s developing understanding of right and wrong and their ability to feel emotions like sympathy and guilt? And to what extent, and under what circumstances, do socio-moral processes contribute to “good” (e.g., prosociality, kindness) and “bad” (e.g., aggression, violence) behavioral tendencies?
