I am a newly tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology (Social/Personality/Abnormal Area) at the University of Toronto. My lab, the Embodied Social Cognition Lab (ESC), is a multi-room suite that has been built from the ground-up to support research specializing in the union of dyadic, psychophysiological, neuroendocrine, social cognitive, and quantitative methods. My research examines how the subjective, physiological, and behavioural levels of experience all play into the way we perceive and organise knowledge about the social world. My four major lines of research include: (1) cross-group friendship; (2) intergroup contact and social interaction; (3) intergroup factors in chronic stress and health; (4) the role of physiological experience in moral decision-making. To answer these questions, my research simultaneously combines dyadic, psychophysiological, longitudinal, social cognitive, behavioural, self-report, and quantitative methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that affect the way people navigate their social worlds.
