As part of the Faculty Lecture Series, assistant professor of psychology Jennifer Borton will speak on Friday, April 20 at 4:10 pm in the Kirner-Johnson Red Pit. Borton will discuss her research on how negative self thought-suppression leads to negative consequences on mood and self-esteem, and present her argument that "suppressing one negative thought also makes other, related negative thoughts more accessible in mind."

Much of her research demonstrates that suppressing negative self-referent thoughts can also negatively impact interactions with others.

Borton's lecture will be followed by an open reception in the Café Opus I Lounge. The Faculty Lecture Series is sponsored by the Dean of Faculty's office.
