I joined Rutgers University-Newark in fall 2010. My experimental research investigates the implicit social cognitive processes that underlie stereotyped attitudes and how these processes shape the self, identity, and health of stigmatized individuals. My research elucidates the contextual and motivational factors that shape individuals\u2019 stereotyped-based cognition about themselves and others that occur outside of awareness, control, and intention. My research has implications for the development and maintenance of stigmatized individuals\u2019 social identities, the expression of implicit (and explicit) stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, and the presence and persistence of health disparities between members of socially advantaged and disadvantaged groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
