Gregory P. Mullin [e-mail]
M.A. in Cognition & Instruction
Started: Fall 2007
Research Interests:
I am interested in how insecurities tend to effect one's social experience (and vice-versa), and how these insecurities/social experiences lead to one's performance in school (especially high school).
Professional Background:
I received my BA in psychology with a minor in sociology from Uconn this past spring. I knew I wanted to continue my education and was drawn to educational psychology after taking a class with Scott Brown during my junior year. Months after speaking with him personally about continuing here at Uconn, here I am.
