Article By: Clark Leonard
A University of North Georgia (Õý°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û) lecturer of biology served as co-author on two college textbooks written by a retired psychology department head from a university in India.
Dr. Ramneet Kaur, who is originally from India, wrote a chapter in "Experimental Psychology," with Dr. Agya Jit Singh as the main author and Dr. Paramjit Kaur as another co-author.
Kaur also penned a chapter in "Basic Psychological Processes," with Singh as the chief author and editor and Dr. Dimple Shekhawat and Dr. Debjani Mukherjee as co-authors.
"I explain the biology behind the psychological processes so we can understand psychology in a better way," Kaur said.
Kaur looks forward to more book collaborations in the future as a way to share her expertise. Her biology research focus is breast cancer.
