Professor Frost infuses cross-cultural themes into her research and teaching, focusing on social and developmental psychology.

As the 21st century world collapses into narrow ingroups and silos, the community college experience opens up teachers and students to the rich complexity of human experience. With the honor of teaching in this environment comes a responsibility to meet each and every individual with dignity, respect, and gratitude. Students may sometimes appear to lack interest or motivation, but I aim to search for the need behind these initial behaviors which may represent concerns preventing an openness to the course content. Each encounter presents a new opportunity to cultivate curiosity, fairness, compassion, and humility. I am indebted to these student and collegial experiences for helping me develop into a better person in the world. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c391e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c391e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h4><p><a href=\"mailto:kathryn.frost@austincc.edu\">kathryn.frost@austincc.edu<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychology Kathy Frost is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Austin Community College (ACC), where she teaches Introduction to Psychology and Social Psychology courses.
