Amanda L. Hare, Ph.D.
Location
I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology here at the University of New England. I earned my B.A. in psychology from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, where I found the personal relationships with my professors to be invaluable. My goal is to provide my students with the same kind of experience. From there, I moved on to Charlottesville, Virginia, where I completed my M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Virginia and worked on a longitudinal investigation of adolescent social development in family and peer contexts.
