Gillian Isobel Rhodes FASSA (born 1955) is an academic psychologist, and is a Winthrop Professor at the University of Western Australia. Rhodes works on facial recognition and perception. She is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. Rhodes was awarded an Australian Research Council Distinguished Outstanding Researcher Award.
Academic career
[edit]Rhodes completed a Bachelor's degree at the University of Canterbury, a Master of Science at the University of Auckland, with a thesis on facial perception, followed by a PhD titled Mental representations of faces at Stanford University.[1][2] Rhodes has worked at the University of Otago and the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and most recently at the University of Western Australia, where she is a Winthrop Professor.[3][4]
With Romina Palermo, Rhodes co-led the Person Perception programme of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders, which ceased work in 2018.[5][3]
Rhodes works on facial perception, and is particularly interested in the mechanisms through which people perceive faces, how these mechanisms develop during childhood, and how they can differ between individuals. Her work on whether women tell if a man is cheating from his appearance,[6][7] and the relationship between semen quality and voice depth, received international attention.[8][4]
Honours and awards
[edit]Rhodes is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.[4] She was elected a Fellow of the American Association for Psychological Science in 2011.[4] She received the Golden Jubilee Special Award from the New Zealand Psychological Society in 1998, and in 1992 had been awarded their Hunter Award.[4][9] Rhodes is an Australian Research Council Distinguished Outstanding Researcher.[4]
