Tara Pearson
As a Ph.D. student in the field of Design and Environmental Analysis in our College’s Department of Human Centered Design, Tara Pearson explores the possibilities of design to positively impact emotional experience and bolster wellbeing. Her research examines the role of visual aesthetics in eliciting emotions in our environment—most recently, experiences of positive surprise and delight. As a Teaching Assistant here, Pearson has supported design-thinking related courses including: Design Graphics and Visualization (DEA1150); Making a

What Does Innocence Sound Like? The Psychology of Suspicion toward 911 Callers
What if the way you sound during a 911 call could make you a murder suspect?
The Human Ecology Alumni Association (HEAA) invites you to an eye-opening webinar that explores exactly that question.
Join Cornell Human Ecology psychologist Dr. Jessica Salerno as she shares groundbreaking research on how emotional expectations fuel wrongful convictions — and why there's no "one size fits all" response to trauma. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence
Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence explores how dress functions as civic infrastructure that shapes belonging, authority, and public life. Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional

Designing Hybrid Skins: An Exhibition by the Hybrid Body Lab
The Hybrid Body Lab is dedicated to developing Hybrid Skins—culturally inspired, flexible interfaces that enhance the human experience. This exhibition brings together selected works from the lab spanning 2019 to 2026, alongside projects created through the Hybrid Body Lab Artist Residency.
Bridging engineering, design, and community-engaged research, the lab explores how these intimate technologies can reflect—rather than constrain—the complexity, diversity, and expressiveness of human life.
