Lauren Jordan joined Kenyon’s Department of Psychology in 2022 after completing her Ph.D. at the University of Mississippi. She has two broad areas of research. First, she studies how social contexts influence people’s everyday well-being — both during extraordinary events such as during the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters as well as during much more ordinary times such as at work or at school. Second, she is interested in studying the judgments that people make towards others regarding their political affiliation, religion and health, and how cognitive processes might influence those judgments.
