Dr. Kilian Garvey, assistant professor of psychology, spent a large portion of the
2013 calendar year presenting nine different research projects at various conferences
and meetings throughout the United States.
Along with psychology major Crystal Curry of Winnsboro, Garvey presented three conference
posters and his paper titled “Pathogen Prevalence and Political Orientation: Which
Drives Moral Decision Making?,” at the International Society for Human Ethology’s
4th Biennial Summer Institute on Human Ethology, held at the University of Michigan.
Garvey also presented four conference posters with psychology major Kasey Rhodes of
Marion, and read his paper titled “The Four Horsemen of Morality,” at the 7th Annual
meeting of the North Eastern Evolutionary Psychology Society, held at Lebanon Valley
College in Annville, Penn.
According to Garvey, 2014 looks to be even more productive as he and members of his
paleo-psychology lab have recently submitted research to be presented at conferences
held by the American Psychology-Law Society, the Society for Personality and Social
Psychology, and the Southwestern Psychological Association.
Garvey earned a B.A. in philosophy, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuropsychology.
He has taught at ULM since 2012.
