Location: Exact address given in confirmation email ? Lecture: "The Dark Side of Love: The Science of Staying and Leaving" ? Speaker: Dr. Megan M Dowd Join us for an insightful evening with Dr. Megan M Dowd as she delves into the complex psychology of relationships in her lecture on the struggles of staying and leaving. Why do some individuals remain in unhappy relationships while others exit seemingly strong partnerships? What transpires in that uncertain space between these two decisions? In this engaging talk, Dr. Dowd will explore what relationship science reveals about the hidden motivations behind our choices in love. Attendees will learn how people quietly reassess their circumstances, become aware of alternatives, and navigate their feelings long before any visible separation occurs. The discussion will touch on how issues like secrecy and infidelity serve as windows into these deeper psychological processes, often reflecting gradual changes rather than sudden actions. Dr. Megan Dowd holds a Ph.D. in Communication and has spent over a decade teaching at institutions such as Hamilton College and the University of Rhode Island. Her research focuses on the dark side of relationships, examining transgressions like secrecy, infidelity, and betrayal. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of love!
