Dr. Rowley began her career in the creative arts world, supporting the mission of San Francisco Opera by creating immersive experiences for established donors and the culturally curious alike. She then spent nearly 20 years in the educational travel industry, where she created and managed experiential learning programs for the likes of National Geographic, Lindblad Expeditions and the Smithsonian Institution, causing Princeton University to ask her to build Princeton Journeys, which became one of the preeminent alumni travel programs in the U.S. under her tenure. Upon the creation of the University’s Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science & Public Policy, Dr. Rowley became its inaugural administrative director, linking academic insights in the behavioral sciences to real-world issues. A graduate of Dartmouth College with an AB in Economics and Geography, she holds an MBA in international business and a PhD in psychology with an emphasis on media. Her previous research has centered on the impact of narrative media on measures of adolescent self-identity, self-construal, and national identity. She is currently investigating how individuals and Western society as a whole approach the idea of endings and what behavioral insights may lend to their reimagining. To this end, she teaches an interdisciplinary seminar at Princeton entitled “Endings, Before and After” and launched an organization, Hereafter Partners, that aims to make conversations about death, dying, and aging more normalized and accessible for younger cohorts of society.
