This 2024 Fall semester, the FF-TIP Lab will be welcoming four new members!
Marina is a first-year PhD student with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in both Psychology and Biology from the University of Toronto. She became interested in the FF-TIP Lab due to Dr. Taku’s cross-cultural research as well as her work on traumatic and major life events. Marina’s current research interests include non-romantic relationships from an evolutionary perspective, understanding the nuances of when people cooperate and when there is conflict, and cross-cultural comparisons. She hopes to apply her research to develop community resources and interventions. Marina can be reached at marinamorris@oakland.edu.
