Following the departure of Anna Liss Jacobsen, who accepted a new job as a Medical and Research Services Librarian at the University of Washington in Seattle, Ginny Boehme has assumed the position as interim psychology librarian. Boehme serves many other Miami departments, including biology, microbiology, nursing, environmental sciences, and kinesiology, nutrition, and health. She will serve as our psychology librarian until a replacement hire is announced. Please join me in welcoming Ginny to this role.

Pankhuri Aggarwal selected as 2021-22 Dissertation Scholar
The Department of Psychology is pleased that Pankhuri Aggarwal has been selected as its Dissertation Scholar for the 2021-22 AY. Pankhuri’s dissertation project will examine how the quality of interpersonal relationships elevates the risk for experiencing depressive symptoms. It also will explore several moderating factors (e.g., inclusion of others in self, upward social comparisons) connected to the COVID-19 pandemic that can reduce relationship quality and make experiencing depression more likely. Congrats to Pankhuri (and advisor Vaishali Raval)!
