Our faculty representative, Dr. Dana Hayward (she/her), serves as the primary liaison between the UPA and the department faculty.
“I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Alberta in Canada. In the Visual Attention and Social Processes (VASP) lab, we study whether attention changes based on who we are (e.g., personal traits), where we are (in a lab vs. real life situations; alone vs. in groups), and what we’re paying attention to (symbols, people, games, rewards, etc.). The VASP lab often uses eye-tracking, motion-tracking, and neuroimaging techniques. When I’m not working, I love to read, play boardgames, and go on fun adventures with my family. I’m looking forward to serving as the faculty representative for the UPA, and in general to support psychology students as they complete their degrees and move on to future endeavours.”
