Teaching Interests

My personal philosophy to both teaching and research is to consider the applications or uses of "knowledge" in psychology, (i.e., things we know) to new and different situations (e.g., do treatment gains made in prison apply to post-release life?), contexts (e.g., how does treatment work when applied to community-based rather than institutional-based program?), and populations (e.g., does our knowledge apply equally well to males as to females, adults as to children, one type of criminal offender as to another type of offender?).

My teaching responsibilities at Ryerson are, at the graduate level, in:

• Behavioural Disorders in Children (PS8704),

and at the undergraduate level, in:

• Social Psychology (PSY 124),
• Developmental Psychopathology (PSY 602),
• Advanced Seminar in Psychopathology (PSY 905),
• Introductory Psychology (PSY102, PSY202, and PSY 011),
• Perspectives in Psychology (PSY 105), and
• Community Psychology (PSY 808).

I have also taught courses at the University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus), and the University of Windsor in child development, applied social psychology, statistics, and organizational psychology.
