About the speaker
Dr Willén is an independent researcher in psychology. Her main professional interests are research ethics, research methodology and investigative psychology (forensic psychology). She is the founder of IGDORE, an independent virtual research institute, and a strong proponent of open and replicable science.
In 2016, she finished her PhD at University of Gothenburg, Sweden, with a thesis on police interviewing techniques and verbal deception detection. The thesis included retroactive disclosure statements (RDS; p’s 27-28 in the thesis) which she followed up on in 2018 with additional statements published on her website. Her decision to publish RDS has been covered in an episode of Everything Hertz, mentioned in a piece in Undark Magazine, and she has co-authored a paper (in press at Perspectives on Psychological Science) on similar statements. Curate Science has turned her RDS into a reporting standard badge called ‘Basic 7 (retroactive)’.
After 5 years abroad (Indonesia, Canada, Netherlands), she returned to Sweden in December 2019. She now resides in Gothenburg with her two children and three rescue dogs.
She’s a first generation university student, liberal leftist, and a proponent of viewpoint diversity.
