Hampshire's is the nation's first undergraduate cognitive science program, and our faculty continue to pave the way in original, innovative research.

In the Spotlight
Sarah PartanSarah Partan, associate professor of animal behavior, received her Ph.D. in animal behavior from the University of California, Davis; and her B.A. in biopsychology from Wesleyan University.

Her research interests are in the areas of animal social behavior and communication. She is particularly interested in multisensory signaling: how and why animals (including humans) combine signals from multiple sensory channels during communication.

 

She has studied these and related questions in observational studies of wild African elephants; rhesus macaques; squirrels and lizards; and in controlled laboratory studies of birds and dolphins.
