The TRUSST Lab supports student-led research seeking to advance the cross-boundary social science of trust.
-
Our PhD students identify a research question that will advance trust research using substantive or methodological knowledge that crosses disciplinary or contextual boundaries and work collaboratively to answer it. Students in the lab are expected to lead at least one such project.
-
Our masters and undergraduate students gain experience working with Joe and our PhD students to conduct theoretically and empirically rigorous research.
Interested students should contact the lab at trusstlab@gmail.com.
