Coming Soon.
BIO
Dr. Fredrickson is most known for her “Broaden-and-Build Theory” of positive emotions, foundational for providing a scholarly blueprint for how pleasant emotional states, as fleeting as they are, contribute to human resilience, well-being, and health. Her recent research centers on “positivity resonance,” a concept that reflects co-experiences of warm-hearted positive emotions across individuals. Her team’s research has established positivity resonance to combat loneliness and promote mental, physical, and public health.
Annually the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series throughout the academic year. This exciting program brings us together outside of the classroom to have conversations with the speakers we’ve invited to our campus to share their ideas. You’ll have the chance to hear from international speakers on a wide range of provocative topics.
