The Provost’s Office is excited to extend a warm welcome to Megan Norris, joining the Psychological Science department in Fall 2025!
What excites you most about joining Gustavus Adolphus College?
I am excited to join the Department of Psychological Science because it is a collaborative and supportive environment where I can grow as an educator and researcher.
Briefly describe your professional interests.
I am a developmental psychologist interested in children’s cognitive and social development. My research focuses on how children form intergroup attitudes and how these may shape children’s beliefs about social inequality. Additionally, I am interested in inclusive and innovative teaching practices.
What aspects of teaching do you find most rewarding?
What I find most rewarding about teaching is seeing my students succeed in achieving their goals. The aha moments when a student makes a connection between two concepts or seeing one of my students confidently present a research poster are what I love most about teaching and mentoring.
