A few weeks ago, we attended the annual Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) Convention in Portland. As always, there were quite of a few of us representing the DiSH Lab this year. Here are some highlights from the event!

Dr. T giving a talk, titled “Emotional and Health Consequences of Weight Stigma”

Drs. Mary Himmelstein & Jeff Hunger co-chaired a symposium called, “Stigma and Health Across Analysis Levels: Advances and Methodological Considerations.” They both also recently accepted job offers as assistant professors! Dr. Himmelstein will be joining the department at Kent State University, and Dr. Hunger will be joining the department at Miami University in Ohio. Congratulations to them both!
