At New Paltz, Glenn teaches courses in evolutionary psychology, social psychology, personality psychology, statistics, and research methods. Glenn has more than 20 publications on multiple topics in social and personality psychology. His newest research, on the topic of mating intelligence, seeks to synthesize mating-relevant constructs from evolutionary social psychology with extant research and theory on the topic of intelligence. In addition to his current empirical work on this topic, he is co-editing a book on mating intelligence with Geoffrey Miller (of the University of New Mexico) titled Mating Intelligence: Theoretical and Empirical Insights into Intimate Relationships.
