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!)

The program will feature Ch ris Ragland\, founder and executive director of Sea League\, for a thought -provoking talk on ocean access\, stewardship\, and the importance of buil ding meaningful connections between coastal communities and the marine env ironments that surround them on Thursday\, September 17\, 2026\, at 7:00 p .m. at the museum. SBMM members are invited to a pre-lecture reception fro m 6:15–6:45 p.m. \nTickets: Free for Navigators Circle members\, $10 for SBMM members\, $20 for the general public\, and $5 for students and educa tors with valid school ID or email. For reservations\, visit sbmm.org\, em ail reservations@sbmm.org\, or call (805) 456-8750. \nRegister Today \nIn his presentation\, Ragland will explore the idea that nature connection sh ould be treated not simply as a charitable cause\, but as essential public infrastructure. Drawing on Sea League’s work creating immersive ocean e xperiences that cross economic lines and bridge neighborhoods\, he will ex amine how direct connection to the sea can cultivate future stewards\, sci entists\, entrepreneurs\, and the workforce needed for a thriving blue eco nomy. \nThe talk will focus on the Santa Barbara Channel as one of the mos t ecologically significant marine environments on the planet\, while also highlighting the reality that many people living along the surrounding coa stline have never meaningfully experienced it. Ragland will discuss what i s possible when ocean fluency is built at scale and how that vision could strengthen marine conservation\, workforce development\, community resilie nce\, and the long-term health of the coastlines on which society depends. \n“There is no institutional infrastructure that normalizes ocean immer sion for coastal communities\,” said Ragland. “This fragmented familia rity produces fragmented stewardship. You can’t build a coalition broad enough to protect something that most of your community has never had the chance to experience.” \nChris Ragland is the founder and executive dire ctor of Sea League\, a Santa Barbara organization innovating how youth con nect to the ocean. A waterman-turned-social entrepreneur\, he brings toget her a decade of experience as a surf coach\, lifeguard\, and kayak guide i n Channel Islands National Park with leadership in environmental advocacy and public engagement. As Creative Director at FinalStraw\, he helped adva nce efforts that eliminated 300 million single-use straws. He has also col laborated with NOAA and California’s Ocean Protection Council on public engagement and served on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Adv isory Council. \n“Chris Ragland brings an inspiring and necessary perspe ctive to the conversation about the future of our coast\,” said SBMM Exe cutive Director Dean Noble. “His work challenges us to think differently about who has access to the ocean\, why that matters\, and how those conn ections shape the next generation of marine stewards.” \nThrough the Mar itime Distinguished Speaker Series\, SBMM continues to bring leading voice s in ocean science\, maritime history\, conservation\, and coastal culture to the Santa Barbara community\, reinforcing the museum’s mission to il luminate our rich connections with the sea through education and storytell ing.
