Jenna Lunge, PhD

Hi, I'm Dr. Lunge

I am a Lecturer III in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan–Flint.

My research explores how biological systems shape human psychology, with a particular focus on the influence of immune function and reproductive hormones on emotions and social behavior. Much of my work examines these processes across the ovulatory cycle and during use of hormonal contraceptives.

I earned my PhD in Psychology from Oakland University under the mentorship of Dr. Lisa Welling. 

Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to create learning environments that are clear, engaging, and intellectually challenging. I emphasize scaffolded skill development so that students leave my courses with confidence in their ability to think critically and use science to understand human behavior.
