I am interested in the interface of psychology and the law, with a particular interest in the ways in which social psychology can inform legal issues. One project I am working on involves how mock jurors view suspects' alibis. Another project centers on people's knowledge of laws and accompanying punishments, as well as their beliefs about criminals and victims. I received my B.A. degree from Queen’s University in Psychology, and my M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Victoria in Psychology. I teach social psychology, psychology and law, criminal behavior, introduction to psychology, nonexperimental research methods & statistics, and personality psychology.
