Peter Vishton
Associate Professor of Psychology
Swarthmore College, BA with High Honors in Psychology and Computer Science, 1991
Cornell University, PhD in Psychology and Cognitive Studies, 1996
Professor Vishton has been with William & Mary for seven years and has focused his research on infant and adult perception, cognition, and action control. He notably developed a BabyKart which enables a pre-crawling baby to “drive” around a room.
The system provides a way to test how the onset of self-produced locomotion promotes mental development and may provide a therapeutic tool for motor-delayed children. Professor Vishton enjoys interacting with students in the lab.
Catherine Forestell
Assistant Professor of Psychology
University of New Brunswick, BS with Honors in Psychobiology, 1995
Dalhousie University, MS in Experimental Psychology, 1997
Dalhousie University, PhD in Experimental Psychology, 2002
Professor Forestell has been with William & Mary since 2007, and her primary area of research is developmental psychology, especially health-related behavior in children and adults. She is currently researching several lab projects, among them the development of flavor preferences. In collaboration with local county schools, she is examining the effectiveness of the School Health Initiative Program.

Lee Kirkpatrick
Professor of Psychology
Lynchburg College, BS in Psychology and Philosophy, 1980
University of Texas at El Paso, MA in General and Experimental Psychology, 1983
University of Denver, PhD in Social Psychology, 1988
Professor Kirkpatrick has been teaching at William & Mary for twenty years, and his areas of research include evolutionary psychology, psychology of religion, and statistics and research methods in psychology. His professorship at William & Mary has enabled him to not only pursue research of his interest, but has afforded him an opportunity to work with uniquely “bright, hard-working, highly motivated students.”
W. Larry Ventis
Professor of Psychology
University of Tennessee, BS, 1964
University of Tennessee, MA, 1966
University of Tennessee, PhD, 1970
Professor Ventis has been with William & Mary for his entire forty-two-year career. His research areas include the psychology of religion, psychology of humor, and stress. His recent research has involved presenting a “constructive progressive view of religion,” and studying the role of humor in fostering critical thinking. He finds his
work rewarding because he is able to teach and collaborate with students at a university devoted to quality education and freely pursue his own research interests.
Joanna Schug
Assistant Professor of Psychology
San Francisco State University, BA in Japanese, minor in Psychology, 2004
Hokkaido University, MA in Behavioral Science, 2008
Hokkaido University, PhD in Behavioral Science, 2011
Professor Schug is a recent addition to the William & Mary faculty and brings unique scholarship and experience in the areas of cross-cultural psychology and social psychology to the department. Schug, who is fluent in Japanese, is currently researching topics with students such as the impact of cultural norms on cooperation, trust and reciprocity, cross-cultural preferences regarding compensation, and cultural differences in friendship and close relationships.
Danielle Dallaire
Assistant Professor of Psychology
Pennsylvania State University, BA in Psychology, 1997
Temple University, PhD in Developmental Psychology, 2003
Professor Dallaire has been with William & Mary since 2006 and her research examines children’s social and emotional development in the context of risk. Her current research explores how children cope with parental incarceration, and she will be participating in a community project addressing the needs of pregnant women involved with the legal system.
