Psychology Department, Mount Allison University

This Friday we will be hosting guest speaker, Dr. Sho Ishiguro, who will be talking about their research on memory in everyday life. The talk will take place from 3:00-4:00pm in the Crabtree Auditorium. All are welcome! 🧠

The Psychology Department’s very own prognosticating groundhog boldly predicted that we will see an early spring. Crabtree Carl – who resides in Dr. Claxton-Oldfield’s office –emerged from under Claxton-Oldfield’s desk this morning, stood under the professor’s mighty beard, and did not see his shadow! Claxton-Oldfield was surprised, saying, “I’d forgotten the furry fellow lived under there!” Have you seen the state of his office lately?!”😁

What did your earliest s*x ed lessons really teach you? For many, it was gossip, outdated videos, or health classes no one took seriously.

Dr. Lisa Dawn Hamilton, psychology professor at Mount Allison, is rethinking s*x education — uncovering how subtle s*xism is embedded in the classroom and exploring how we can make it more inclusive, equitable, and effective.

Hamilton is taking a comprehensive look at New Brunswick’s s*x ed curriculum in both Anglophone and Francophone school districts. The team’s expertise spans educational policy, curriculum development, feminist analysis, and gender equality in classroom settings.

Her new federally funded project, 'Subtle S*xism in S*x Ed: A Feminist Analysis of School-Based S*x Education', is supported by a one-year, $103,251 grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
