RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
2013-Present Social Identity & Stigma Lab
Advisor: Dr. Jessica Remedios
Working on projects concerning the broad topics of stigma-related experiences
and intersectionality. One line of work is examining how leadership
experiences differ for a few gender-by-race intersectional groups. Another line of
work examines how people with multiple stigmatized identities are perceived
when making different claims of experiencing prejudice. Lastly, in a new line of
work, I am examining how we cognitively represent intersectional groups as well
as trying to develop new quantitative methods for addressing intersectional
research questions.
