Dr. Katie Grobman
Katie Hope Grobman has taught a diverse range of college psychology classes including intro, social, developmental, and cognitive, and special topics in infancy, education, and creativity. Her breadth of teaching includes sharing mathematics with underprivileged elementary and middle school students, physics at an all-girls high school, philosophy in college, and psychology to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Her psychology lab studies deep conceptual change through struggle - our creativity, moments of insight, struggles with morality, and the power of teaching and parenting to transform our lives. Her website shares psychology lessons fostering self-discovery through online activities, hands-on classroom experiences, engaging lectures, and discussion prompts. Beyond academics, she loves skating, volunteering, thrifting, hiking, and especially her daughter Abigail.
