Sandra Parsons, Ph.D.

Welcome to my page!

Here is a little more about me:  

I am an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Rice University, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and the Director of Pedagogy for our department. I am also a faculty fellow with the Center for Teaching Excellence and co-PI on the umbrella research protocol for pedagogical research with the CTE. 

I feel extremely lucky to have an appointment that allows me to devote all of my time and energy to teaching and mentoring undergraduates.

---

• I teach Introduction to Social Psychology (PSYC 202), Research Methods (PSYC 340),  and Positive Psychology (PSYC 480).

• I am a departmental adviser.

• One of my favorite places to have lunch is at Will Rice College, where I am a Resident Associate and also serve as a Divisional Advisor.

Please see the links below for more information about me and about my teaching and research.

Positively, Professor Parsons
