Personal profile
Research Interests
I’m passionate about advancing the rights and access of structurally disadvantaged groups and working towards a more equal and just society. My research broadly focuses on the psychology of social change and intergroup relations, including the ways in which people may unite across pre-existing divides to work together for social justice. My research program aims to inform practical frameworks for facilitating members of both advantaged and disadvantaged groups to work together and act for progressive social change.
