QTUG 2012 Workshop Leader
Dr. Elizabeth Page-Gould
Dr. Page-Gould is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in Canada and is the director of the Embodied Social Cognition Lab. As both a social psychologist and a psychophysiologist, her research examines the effects of close cross-group relationships (e.g., interethnic friendship) on subjective, behavioral, and visceral responses during intergroup interactions. She also studies the role of intergroup contact in acute and chronic regulation of the bodily stress systems. Dr. Page-Gould received a Bachelor of Science (2002) in psychology and statistics (double major) from Carnegie Mellon University. She received her PhD (2008) in psychology from the University of California Berkeley under the mentorship of Dr. Rodolfo-Mendoza-Denton, where she was a graduate fellow of the National Science Foundation and the Center for Greater Good. She then completed a Mind/Brain/Behaviour Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard University under the supervision of Dr. Wendy Berry Mendes before moving to Toronto to assume her professorship. Dr. Page-Gould's research almost always involves dyadic or longitudinal components, and, as such, multilevel modeling is the most frequently used analysis from her statistical toolbox. She is honored to work with the Quantitative Training for Underrepresented Groups to share the love of dependence in data sets. Her website: http://page-gould.com/
