Assistant Professor of Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study the psychological mechanisms that drive racial inequality. My lab grapples with how our histories, social organizations, ideologies, and institutions intersect with individuals to fuel systemic forces that bestow advantage to some groups and disadvantage to others. Ultimately, we aim to unearth implementable insights that can help create a more equitable society. Ongoing areas of research study how people and organizations selectively embrace diversity in ways that reify racial inequality, using media interventions to improve racial attitudes, cognitive and motivational processes informing people's attributions for inequality, and the legal re-inscription of hierarchy-enhancing narratives and ideologies.
