Lab Director (CV)
Bio: I am a Lecturer of Psychology (Assistant Professor equivalent) at the University of Edinburgh. I received my BA from Colgate University and my Ph.D. from Yale University in social and personality psychology. Outside the lab, I enjoy cycling and reading fantasy, sci-fi, and philosophy.
Trish Burkins
Ph.D. Student
Bio: I'm a Ph.D. Student in social psychology at the University of New Hampshire, working with Dr. Bailey in the BIAS Lab. Originally from Middlebury VT, I graduated from Ithaca College in 2021 and decided to continue my education to conduct research and become a professor. I love painting, games, and meeting new people!
Research Interests: My work at Ithaca College focused on motivation and well-being, particularly on self-determination theory and regulatory focus theory. My current work in the BIAS lab is investigating the interaction between gender, androcentrism, and personhood, with further research into the mechanisms behind this interaction currently on the horizon. In the future, I also plan to explore the connection between essentialism (biological and value-based) and views towards transgender people, possibly to uncover mechanisms that could be used in interventions.
