Research Interests

​​​​​​​​​​​​My primary research interests are biological psychology (specifically evolution), learning, and cognition. I have conducted research in animal and human behavior, anthrozoology (human-animal interactions), evolutionary psychology, and research in higher eduction (including the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning). I encourage students who work withme to be involved in all steps of the research process such as reading/discussing research papers, helping with research design, collecting and analyzing data, and presentation of the results at professional meetings.
