Identity development, Multicultural issues, Discrimination and prejudice

Biography

The research in my lab is focused on identity development processes, emphasizing intersections of domains of identity within relational and cultural contexts. Using observational, self-report, and qualitative methodologies, we assess ethnic identity, sexual identity, religious identity, professional identity, and other forms of identity across developmental transitions. Our work examines patterns of risk and resilience related to important family and peer relationships, as well as cultural influences and the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
