| Research Interests |
I am in the experimental group, but my interests are very general. My research has been in cross-cultural dream studies (China/US) and gender & social support; but I am doing more now in expressive arts therapy (especially with dreams) and ecopsychology.
I teach History & Systems and general psychology. I also teach special topics/honors classes. Once a year I teach a graduate class on dreams in the HPC department. I am interested in emerging areas in psychology: systems theory, ecopsychology, and interdisciplinary approaches to psychology. |
