Throughout my degree, I have combined climate change-focused psychology courses with geography and earth science electives to gain a better understanding of anthropogenic climate change from both the human and planetary perspectives. In turn, my core psychology courses have offered me a solid background in human behaviour and cognition, which has helped me to understand the psychological barriers to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Finally, I have decided to focus my Honours Thesis on the topic of sustainability by examining the relationship between perceptions of self and nature and pro-environmental behaviours and attitudes.  

My classes have given me the tools to evaluate the societal and historical impacts of creativity and visual culture. Beyond the classroom, I’ve had Research Assistantships that have allowed me to explore the essential role that creativity has played in Canadian culture, particularly through a study of the history of radio design in the 20th century. My current role as the President of the Carleton Art History Undergraduate Society (CAHUS) has connected me to my peers through fun and creative events ranging from paint nights to portfolio reviews and an upcoming journal publication.

President of Stigma Ends at CU. Throughout my studies as a psychology student at Carleton, I’ve learned that one’s mental health and well-being are not simply influenced by their physiology, but through a complex, interdependent relationship between a variety of biological, psychological, and social factors. As the current President of Stigma Ends at CU, a student-led campaign dedicated to reducing the stigmatization of substance use and addiction within the Carleton University community, we recognize that stigma can have a significant impact on a person’s mental health and well-being, and can significantly impact accessibility to treatment. As such, I have begun to incorporate much of what I have learned from my courses and research into our campaign by adopting a bio-psycho-social approach in order to highlight the impact that stigma can have on each of these factors. In sharing this information, we hope that we can begin to reduce the stigma associated with substance use and addictions and improve the mental health and well-being of all Ravens!

Theories, research, and applications of Cognitive Psychology. Research projects will familiarize students with the scientific method used to study pattern recognition, attention, memory, language and thinking.

How do you cope with stress? We live in a stressful world, and how we cope has implications for our happiness and well-being. We will examine theory and research on how stress affects our lives, how people cope, and what it means to be well-adjusted.
