Associate Professor of Sociology, West Virginia University
Dr. Corcoran received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Washington as well as an M.A. in Sociology and an M.A. in International Studies (Comparative Religion). She is a theoretical generalist who studies social groups and networks as links between macro- structures and micro- attitudes and behaviors.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Sustainable Land Use, University of Manchester
I am currently working as a postdoc at Manchester University on the Sustainable Forest Transitions project. Me and my colleagues are exploring the drivers behind the patterns of reforestation occurring in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics, and the social and environmental impacts of these changes.

Masters student in Developmental Psychology, Queen's University, Ontario
I am currently a second-year MSc. student studying Developmental Psychology at Queen's University in the Adolescent Dynamics Lab under Dr. Tom Hollenstein's supervision and will be continuing into my doctoral studies. I completed my BScH. degree at the same institution with a Specialization in Bio-Psychology.
In terms of my research, my long-term goal is to gain a deeper understanding of adolescent digital experiences. Specifically, I aim to explore how youth engage with digital technologies, when, and for whom these technologies are most beneficial. Additionally, I am interested in how parents might be shaping such adolescent digital experiences.
So far, my research has centered on Digital Emotion Regulation, examining how adolescents use digital technologies to manage their emotions (e.g., texting a friend for social support). However, my current master's thesis focuses how adolescents and parents navigate conflict discussions related to digital topics (e.g., screen time, videogaming, social media) in comparison to non-digital or traditional sources of conflict (e.g., chores, schoolwork, sibling disputes).
