I was born and raised in Montréal, but I have loved traveling from a very young age. After high school, I completed my International Baccalaureate at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf to quench my desire for acquiring an international perspective to my knowledge. This led me to later travel to Senegal, West Africa, and Grenada, West Indies, as a volunteer worker. But it is while attending McGill University to complete my B.A., doing my honours in psychology and minor in international development studies, that my passion for social psychology and intergroup relations developed more concretely. I sought Prof. Don Taylor as a graduate supervisor because of our mutual interests in the plight of disadvantaged groups. My broad research interest in social psychology lies in understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying intergroup social inequalities. My master’s thesis explored when and how mainstream Canadians experience collective guilt with regard to the internal colonization of Aboriginal people. My present doctoral program of research focuses on group-based emotions, implicit emotions, collective guilt, egalitarianism and social responsibility in the context of Canadian society and Aboriginal people.
