Research:
My research interests include the study of small group decision making and argument, as well as the role of communication in cooperative learning groups. Recent projects include examination of how members' arguments in decision-making groups impact group outcomes, how students use argument in classroom group discussions, and how majority and minority subgroups use argument similarly or differently.
