Summary of research

I completed my BA Psychology at the University of Calgary, Canad and MA at Goldsmiths, University of London. Since the USA elected President Trump, a small sector of conservative Canadians have been emboldened to express similar nationalist sentiments, resulting in accusations of racism and fascism. This includes the recent election of a provincial Premier who has quickly embarked on austerity programs, primarily affecting vulnerable populations. This political climate is related to my research - examining if collective narcissism is negatively correlated to the regulation of Human Rights.
