Reynolds Huard | Lab Coordinator  

Hometown: I was born and raised in the city of Athens, Ohio. Athens lies in a valley walled in by the Appalachian foothills, roughly forty five minutes West of the West Virginia border. 

Research Interests/Projects: I am a current Junior majoring in Psychology and Gender and Sexuality Studies. My academic, personal, and professional interests ground an understanding of Psychological healing practices within theories, histories, and perspectives that stem from intersectional, interdisciplinary approaches to Gender and Sexuality Studies. I am particularly interested in how gender, sex/uality, and race operate co-constitutively and coalesce–both between and from within identitarian and socio-cultural contexts–to inform one’s bio-psycho-social experience and knowledge of the world around them. My work in Dr. Garrison's lab includes: providing support for the Ka Bogso refugee community-healing arts-based project; collecting, analyzing, and reporting data on suicidality in “the Global South.”

Hobbies: Outside of school, I am a Barista at Le Ronj Coffeehouse and a server at a restaurant in Brunswick. At the end of a long day of classes or after a shift at work, I crave nothing more than an ice cold can of Dr. Pepper, a bowl of white cheddar Smartfood popcorn, and a nostalgic movie or a true crime docuseries. When I'm not doing something for school or work, I enjoy listening to and making music with friends, reading outside, and exploring Maine!
