Current Status

I am a tenured senior assistant professor of the theory and history of psychology at the University of Groningen. I mostly teach at the graduate level.

Background

I have a PhD in the history and theory of psychology, with previous degrees in Psychology from the University of Toronto and Interdisciplinary Studies (specializing in history, history of biology, and history of psychology) from York University. My current research focuses on Jean Piaget and the history of developmental psychology, as well as on how we understand scientific research (e.g., knowledge translation, public understanding of science, etc.). I also have an interest in digital history. I can read French, and have published translations, although I do not speak it as fluently as I would like. I am slowly learning Dutch.

I am a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, elected by my peers at Division 26 (History of Psychology) and Division 7 (Developmental Psychology).
