Over the years\, I’ve testifi ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi deo games.

Ne uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d ebate!)
