Dr. Salena Brody, a professor of instruction in psychology at The University of Texas at Dallas, has been tapped to join the UT System Academy of Distinguished Teachers. She is one of four new fellows of the academy, which recognizes extraordinary educators throughout the UT System’s academic institutions. Prospective fellows must previously have received a UT System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award, an honor that Brody received last year. A social psychologist, Brody teaches a variety of courses including the Psychology of Prejudice, Workplace Psychology, Mass Communication and Behavior, Introduction to Psychology, and Intergroup Emotion and Social Change. Psychology department head Dr. Shayla Holub said she was “thrilled, but not surprised” by Brody’s selection to the academy.
