Julie Longua Peterson is a Professor of Psychology and an affiliated faculty in the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.  Dr. Peterson is also the principal investigator of the Self and Close Relationships Lab.  Her program of research investigates the ways in which explicit (conscious, controlled) and implicit (unconscious, automatic) self and relationship processes influence how people navigate positive and negative interpersonal events (e.g., acceptance, rejection, discrimination). Her research uses experimental, observational, and experience sampling methodologies to explore these themes.  Julie's courses include Introduction to Psychology, Social Psychology, Research Methods, Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies, and a seminar in the Social Self.
