Research, teaching, and prevention
I am an Assistant Professor in York University’s Department of Psychology, a registered psychologist, and Director of the Sex and Violence Evaluation (SAVE) Lab.
My work asks how psychological research can help prevent harmful sexual behaviour and violence: by improving how we define and measure difficult constructs, interpret evidence with appropriate care, and translate knowledge into prevention, intervention, and professional learning.
