Masters Student
| Degrees: | B.Sc. Psychology, Cape Breton University |
Taylor is a second-year master’s student in Psychology under the supervision of Dr. Michael Wohl at Carleton University. She completed an undergraduate thesis titled Generativity in Emerging Adulthood, looking at Erik Erikson’s theory of development and specifically, the extent to which generativity, traditionally thought to be shown in mid-life, can be seen in emerging adults. She also completed a Directed Study titled Racism Against International Students on Campus at Cape Breton University, a qualitative study regarding international students’ experiences with racism, what the university is doing to combat racism, and what needs to be improved in order to ensure the safety and comfort of international students. For her master’s degree with Dr. Wohl, she will be looking at intergroup relations. More specifically, she will be exploring competitive victimhood between the Black Lives Matter movement and the Stop Asian Hate movement.
