Katie McGovern

Katie McGovern received her Ph.D. in Experimental Cognitive Psychology from the Center for Research in Learning, Perception, and Cognition at the University of Minnesota in 1983. While there, she studied the psychology and development of speech and language. Since 1991, she has been teaching clinical psychology doctoral students in the San Francisco Bay area. Her scholarly publications and presentations include work on the scientific study of consciousness including Global Workspace Theory, the relationship of consciousness, feelings, and emotion, cognitive neuroscience, as well as Christian Mysticism and the Western contemplative tradition. She is a trained spiritual director and retreat leader and combines her interest in spirituality and spiritual development with her interest in neuroscience and consciousness in her dissertation supervision.
