The mission of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University is to (a) represent and support the scholarly and research endeavors that traditionally fall under the purview of psychology, and (b) integrate the behavioral and social sciences with the brain and health sciences. The Department thus is the home of the diverse subdisciplines of psychology at Duke and the primary focus of the neuroscience of behavior in Arts and Sciences. As such, the Department is a unique Arts and Sciences department, one that defines itself as spanning multiple levels of analysis involving brain, behavior, and social and affective science. The department strives to encourage faculty to attain excellence both within their specific subdisciplines and to further integrate research and teaching activities across psychology and beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline. Psychology and Neuroscience explicitly recognizes the permeability of the subdisciplinary boundaries in psychology, thereby underscoring the importance of collaborative research. Its mandate is to create and support new connections to psychologists and scholars in related disciplines across the entire campus.
