Welcome to Research Unplugged, the official podcast for the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences at Wilfrid Laurier University. Across a diverse range of programs, including Criminology, Public Safety, Psychology, Game Design, Leadership, and Health Studies, our faculty are engaged in exciting and innovative research. Listen to Research Unplugged for interviews with faculty who break down, or 'unplug', their research for the audience.
Join us as we talk to Dr. Judy Eaton about why she chose the field of psychology and, as a self-professed introvert, what drew her to becoming a professor. We also dive into her research on country singer Dolly Parton and how she went from childhood fan to researching how Dolly exemplifies the principles of positive psychology through her music and philanthropy. The listener will learn about narrative analysis of song lyrics and how people use words that can reflect their social and cultural environment. This is a fascinating and entertaining episode not to be missed!
Judy Eaton is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Her primary area of interest is in positive psychology and how evidence-based practices can help people thrive and flourish.
