Academic Spotlights

Showcase in Psychology

On November 17th, the brilliant minds of Dr. Russell Searight's History and Systems of Psychology (PSYC 456) class showcased their knowledge through individual posters, unveiling the depths of "classic" studies in psychology.
 
Each poster not only brought these historic studies to life but also delved into scholarly critiques, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of psychological thought.
 
The interactive session also opened the floor to intriguing follow-up questions, fostering a deeper understanding of the significance behind each student's chosen study.
