Stanford Student Employee-2, Psychology
Undergraduate, PsychologyBioThe contexts that bring societies together govern our interactions in ways that are as tragic as they are beautiful. My dedication to understanding the social experience is grounded not only in a love for academia, but in compassion: what we know only matters as much as our capacity to use it to make a difference in the lives of others. I believe that this is remarkably evident in Psychology, Data Science and Social Systems, and Public Policy. By studying the gaps between disciplines, I hope to better understand the persistent psychological impact of policy initiatives and systemic prejudices in the real world. This passion has informed the research I have pursued with the SPARQ Lab at Stanford and the Social Context and Inequity Lab at the University of Denver, as well as my community-oriented work with the Haas Center for Public Service as the Frosh Service Liaison Coordinator, a fellow with Leadership, Organizing, and Action, and a fellow for Matriculate.

MarYam Hamedani, PhD
Executive Director & Senior Research Scientist, Psychology
BioI am a social and behavioral scientist with experience leading centers and teams within higher ed. I study and put into practice strategies to help people live, work, and interact in today’s diverse and divided world. My expertise is in harnessing the power of culture for behavioral, organizational, and societal change and building cross-sector collaborations to field test data-driven solutions. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, covered by national media outlets, and supported by leading foundations.
As Executive Director and Senior Research Scientist at Stanford SPARQ, I partner with public and private sector leaders to use social and behavioral science insights to drive change. I prioritize an approach to research that is grounded in society’s biggest problems and centers the perspectives of practitioners working to lead change on the ground. I create opportunities for researchers and practitioners to learn from one another in mutually beneficial partnerships. I also regularly speak and advise on culture change, cross-sector research partnerships, and higher education leadership.
Before Stanford SPARQ, I was Associate Director of Stanford’s Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) and Stanford's Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE). I am also a Stanford Ph.D. alum in Social Psychology and graduate from Middlebury College with B.A.s in Psychology and Philosophy. -
Zainab Hosseini
Postdoc Contingent, Psychology
BioDr. Hosseini focuses on building evidence-based psychological interventions for youth impacted by chronic adversities, with a special interest in supporting forcibly displaced youth (refugees, IDPs, etc.). She has over a decade of experience in addressing issues of cultural and contextual fit in behavioral intervention science. Through a decolonial lens, Dr. Hosseini has developed the framework of responsiveness in psychological interventions to guide researchers and practitioners in building programs that systemically prioritize community wisdom, particularly when determining the core psychological and behavioral components of interventions. In addition to their design, she uses mixed methods approaches in longitudinal field experiments to rigorously test the effectiveness of interventions.
Dr. Hosseini holds a PhD in Developmental and Psychological Sciences from Stanford University. She completed a Master of Education at Harvard University where she collaborated with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and she also holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. Dr. Hosseini completed her clinical fellowship at the Boston Children's Hospital where she worked as a psychotherapist in the Division of Adolescent Medicine.
