Dr. Ashley Hansen-Brown

I joined the psychology department at Bridgewater State University in 2017, after completing my BS in Psychology at Washington State University, MS in Experimental Psychology at Eastern Washington University, and PhD in Social Psychology at the Ohio State University. I teach research methods and some combination of social psychology, applied social psych, orientation to the psych major, intro psych, and/or honors colloquia. My research primarily focuses on college experiences, including assessing the impact of a peer mentoring program in the psychology major and studying a variety of factors that create barriers or pathways to success in college. I have an active research lab involving undergraduate students and I enjoy supervising honors thesis students.
