Research and Teaching Interests:
My research interests are broadly focused on interpersonal relationships and cultural diversity. Within interpersonal relationships, I am specifically interested in couple rituals, chemistry, marriage, and infidelity. I enjoy studying how each of these topics varies by culture, not only within North America, but also across the world. My goal is to understand how evolutionary mechanisms interact with sociocultural practices to influence the development and maintenance of interpersonal relationships.
My teaching interests include intimate relationships, race and racism, and the family.
