Jennifer Stellar received her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and is currently starting a faculty position in the Psychology Department at the University of Toronto. Her research examines the impact of prosocial emotions—including awe, compassion, and gratitude—on health and well-being. She explores how these emotions work in concert with our biological systems to support giving, helping, bonding, and overall physical health.
