I am Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UCLA and a Visiting Scholar in Human Evolutionary Biology (HEB) at Harvard. My field of research and teaching is culture and human development. In HEB, I participate in the Culture, Cognition, and Co-Evolution Lab, the Pan Lab, and the Evolutionary Neuroscience Lab. This is my third time back at Dunster House! The first time (1965), I served as a sophomore tutor in Social Relations, a now defunct Harvard Department that integrated Social and Clinical Psychology, Sociology, and Social Anthropology. At that time, no women were allowed to be members of the Senior Common Room, so my male
counterpart snuck me into Dunster to give my tutorials. In 1986, I was a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute and returned (officially!) to Dunster House as Resident Scholar and member of the Senior Common Room. I also learned to row and was excited to be a member of the Dunster House Crew! I currently row in Harvard's recreational sculling program and hope to contribute to Dunster House points by sculling on the Charles when I return from Los Angeles to Cambridge in May.
