Daryll Wilson

Stream / Psychological Science

Daryll is an MA student in the Psychological Science stream. His wide range of experience and expertise has allowed him to pursue diverse research and academic interests. Most recently, Daryll completed a practicum placement with Dr. Tamara Franklin's Social Neuroscience lab at Dalhousie University where he contributed to a project looking to establish a link between a protein-marker of epigenetic changes in the brain and the socio-behavioural symptoms in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. 

His thesis work aligns more closely with his developed passion for teaching and learning as it examines the effectiveness of a proposed procedure-based teaching intervention for both online and in-person lecture contexts with the aim of optimizing lecturtung across academia. Daryll also serves as a Graduate Educational Developer with Ryerson's Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, developing himself as an educator in both theory (through research) and practice (through professional development).

Through all of this, Daryll carries with him his identity and perspectives as a Black scholar, continuing to advocate for equity, change and justice in academia and society writ large.
