Dr. Ashley N. Gilliam

I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Appalachian State University. I received my PhD and MA in Psychology from Brandeis University and my BA in Cultural Anthropology and BS in Psychological Science from Western Kentucky University.  

I research how culture influences how we think, perceive, and remember (cognition). For example, how do Appalachians and immigrants to the United States differ in how they think? How do our cognitive strategies (how we think) change as we change? 

See my personal website for more details about me, my CV, and a positionality statement recognizing how my background might influence my research.
