About me
I am currently a first-year graduate student at Stanford University working in the IPC lab, having received my B. S. in Psychology from Yale University in 2012. My research interests include: 1) How perceptions of stigmatized groups (e.g., racial, sexual, or religious minorities) bias moral judgments and punishment (Newheiser, Sawaoka, & Dovidio, in press); 2) The contexts in which egalitarian or non-egalitarian attitudes and beliefs contribute to people’s subjective wellbeing; and 3) How self-conceptions of one’s own social identity impact attitudes towards stigmatized groups.
I am supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and a Stanford Graduate Fellowship.
