Teaching and Research Interests

I identify as both a social psychologist and a positive psychologist. My teaching and research activities over the years have all reflected my commitment to social justice and to creating conditions that foster greater psychological well-being. I have mentored students through my role as a senior fellow in the Social Justice College and as a Posse mentor. I enjoy leading study-abroad and service trips, which I have done several times, including leading Bucknell in South Africa and the Bucknell Brigade to Nicaragua. I have taught a variety of courses including an integrated perspectives course (with a philosopher) on happiness, a University course on food and the environment, and first-year foundation seminars on social justice. I regularly teach positive psychology at a nearby women’s prison to a combined group of "outside" (Bucknell) and "inside" (prison) students. My most recent research focuses on forgiveness and self-compassion, and I am currently developing workshops on self-compassion for women in the penal system.
