Dr. Amy Leach, Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, recently travelled across the pond to present research findings from her study exploring veils worn in the courtroom at the University of Portsmouth, England.

Dr. Leach studies deception detection in forensic contexts. On June 30, she discussed her preliminary research on the effects of veiling in the courtroom - an issue that has been debated extensively on an international level - as well as the theoretical and practical implications of her research.
