Chris Davis
Professor, Department of Psychology at Carleton University
Email: chris.davis@carleton.ca
Davis investigates the effects that secrecy has on personal and relationship well-being. People often keep secrets about embarrassing experiences, stigmatized aspects of their identity, or moral lapses – things about themselves that they believe their partners will disapprove of. But in addition to taxing one’s mental resources, keeping secrets can lead one to feel inauthentic and insecure in one’s relationships.

Philippe-Antoine Hoyeck
Instructor, Department of Philosophy at Carleton University
Email: philippeantoin.hoyeck@carleton.ca
Hoyeck teaches the course “Philosophy of Love and Sex” at Carleton University. He can discuss subjects such as:
- The nature of love:
People say all kinds of contradictory things about love. Is the best love unconditional? Is it forever? Do opposites attract? Is love blind? - Love in the history of philosophy:
What can the ancient philosophers teach us about love? How can they help us make sense of the concept of love? - Love in the media:
Hoyeck can discuss examples of relationships from well-known TV shows and films to illustrate some of the questions raised by the concept of love.
