My favourite things:

Favourite…

· Thing about teaching psychology: discussions with students (tutorials can be fun!)

· Psychology school of thought: Psychoanalysis (not the sex stuff, but the cultural stuff)

· Unit from when you studied undergrad psychology: Community Psychology

· Psychologist/Scientist: George Albee. He was awesome.

· Publication (of mine): I wrote one about war and why we weren’t doing enough in psychology to protest against war.

· Publication (of someone else): David Rosenhan’s paper “On Being Sane in Insane Places”.

· Place to travel in the world: Cuba (and, no, that doesn’t mean I am a communist. And, yes, that might mean I like rum and cigars)
