Dr. Hartnett will talk about the skills and abilities students develop while earning an undergraduate degree in psychology and how those skills can help the world. You don't want to miss this!
We are excited to welcome Jessica (Jess) L. Hartnett, Ph.D. from Gannon University as the 2023 WPUPC keynote speaker! Dr. Hartnett is a fierce advocate of making the teaching of statistics accessible, relevant, and “not awful and boring” to psychology students (see her popular online blog, “Not Awful and Boring Ideas for Teaching Statistics”). Dr. Hartnett’s passion for the teaching of statistics has led to a variety of invited talks, peer-reviewed and main-stream publications, and book chapters. Dr. Hartnett also studies affective forecasting, the fading affect bias, positive psychology, and research methodology. She has co-authored a book about positive psychology and cognition, titled Pollyanna’s Revenge, and excitedly has a statistics textbook forthcoming.
