Julie Main (2009, MRes with Distinction) Social gaze and person perception

I completed a Masters of Research (with Distinction) in 2009. My research investigated the role of gaze cues in perceptions of attractiveness and dominance. When I left the Face Research Lab, I had published two first-authored papers, which secured me a British Academy-funded research position at the University of Aberdeen.
