Psychology

What factors shape the way we develop, think, and act? What defines our relationships with ourselves and with others? Psychology uses scientific approaches to investigate & understand the human condition. At Sewanee, we aspire to translate that work to a more equitable world. Our students and faculty pursue a more complex and nuanced understanding of thought and behavior, both in its own right and with an earnest commitment to our departmental theme of Psychology for the Public Good.
