about me

hello! my name is min yeshara feldman & i'm a third-year student studying psychology, cognitive science, and religion at ohio state.


my coursework & research experiences focus in social cognition and development.


broadly, i am interested in understanding children's intuitive theories about morality, science, religion, economics, political thought, justice and punishment, and other ways they learn to think as adults do. i am also interested in how imaginative play facilitates the development and sophistication of these theories.


previously, i have been an undergraduate researcher at the ohio state language perception lab and a visiting undergraduate researcher at the harvard laboratory for developmental studies, where i continue to collaborate on ongoing projects. i am an incoming summer 2025 undergraduate researcher at the boston college cooperation lab under dr. katherine mcauliffe!


in my free time, i love to read and write fiction, play the piano, watch studio ghibli movies, pick up new skills and projects (this website being one of them), and go on bookstore-coffeeshop crawls (favorite boston bookstore, brookline booksmith; favorite columbus bookstore, german village book loft. favorite boston coffeeshop, cicada coffee bar; favorite columbus coffeeshop, fox in the snow).
