Teaching and training

Teaching, training and academic engagement

Joana Arantes speaking into a microphone during a session

I have taught Psychology since 2011, at different levels of higher education, in the areas of perception, attention, learning, evolutionary psychology, applied human cognition, and research and data analysis methods.

As part of my academic activity, I direct the Mestrado em Cognição Humana at the Universidade do Minho and take part in the creation and coordination of pedagogical projects. I also develop training programmes for organisations, professionals and the general public, in areas such as mindfulness, well-being, self-regulation, communication and interpersonal relationships.

Throughout my career, I have also taken part in coordinating academic and scientific structures, projects and teams, an experience that has enriched the way I think about teaching and training in Psychology.
