Biographical Info
I’m an affiliated graduate student working primarily with Dr. Rebecca Neel. Broadly, I examine how motivations and beliefs shape social judgment. More specifically, I investigate how goal relevance guides social perception and emotion: Whereas people perceived to threaten others’ goals may experience prejudice, people considered goal-irrelevant may be ignored and forgotten. I also examine beliefs about who can vs. cannot change and the consequences of those beliefs within intergroup contexts.
Biographical Info
Broadly speaking, I am interested in social psychological factors that prevent members of marginalized groups from thriving and how we can leverage knowledge of these factors to intervene to promote equity. More specifically, I am interested in how our identities—and how we engage with them—impacts outcomes in the domains of academics, health, and general well-being. My work involves topics including concealable social identities, prejudice, and social belonging.
