My work focuses on documenting the various ways that women, African Americans, and other underrepresented groups are stigmatized. I am especially interested in biases that are unexpected or counterintuitive, such as microaggressions that happen in professional contexts where formal discrimination is prohibited (e.g., the workplace, academia, healthcare) and intra-group prejudices in which people are biased against members of their own in-groups. Much of my research concerns individual strategies that stigmatized targets and their allies can use to reduce prejudice and foster inclusivity.
I am Director of the Applied Social and Organizational Psychology doctoral program and the Industrial/Organizational Psychology master’s program at IUPUI.
