Doctoral Students Gillian Burns, Kerry O'Brien, & Amy Wang Complete Major Milestone in PhD Program

Our wonderful doctoral students Gillian, Kerry, and Amy each gave talks to their program's colloquium series. This marks a major milestone for these students -- in their program (Basic & Applied Social Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center), doctoral students conduct independent research projects rather than sitting for comprehensive exams. Presenting their work for the program's faculty and their peers is a significant accomplishment, and we are so proud of their hard work and dedication!

Gillian Burns presents her work titled "Piecing Together Autistic Identity: Perceptions of Common Autism Imagery."

Kerry O'Brien presents her research titled "Conveniently Clueless: Defining & Examining Weaponized Incompetence in the Home."

Amy Wang presents her project titled "STEM is for Everyone: Active vs. Static Views of Math and Student Outcomes."

Amy, Gillian, and Kerry pose with fellow 2nd-year cohort member, Maria Sobrino.
