Research Interests:
Dr. Joseph Danks received his B.A. from DePauw University in 1965, majoring in psychology and philosophy, and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1968 in experimental psychology. That fall semester, he started as an assistant professor at Kent State University and was promoted through the ranks to professor of psychology. He also has been a visiting professor at Princeton (1974-75) and Stanford (1984-85) universities, and at the University of Warsaw (1978) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1993). From 1985-1992, he served as chairperson of the Department of Psychology. In 1996, following a national search, Joe was appointed Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, in which position he served until retiring from Kent State in 2004 as professor and dean emeritus. His research in psycholinguistics has focused on how people comprehend sentences and text, especially across languages, and the cognitive processes involved in translation. More recently, he has been part of a research team investigating advanced medical care directives (e.g., living wills) in elderly patients. During his career as an experimental psychologist specializing in psycholinguistics, Joe has published three books, more than 80 refereed articles and book chapters, and has presented numerous professional papers. He has served on the editorial boards of several professional journals and on review panels for the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health. He also has been a principal investigator on numerous grants from several different federal agencies.
