Research Interests
My research interests surround the maintenance and reduction of interpersonal biases and prejudice. My work has investigated various forms of bias reduction (e.g., interpersonal confrontation, increasing group-based sympathy), minorities’ perceptions of allies and ally efforts, perceptions/effects of cultural symbols, and differing perceptions of marginalized groups based on how they are labeled (i.e., “broke” versus “in need”).
