My work addresses the question of how prejudice, stigmatization, and other forms of group-based biases are perpetuated. I examine individual-level psychological mechanisms associated with group perception, morality, and belief systems that serve to maintain system-level social injustice and inequality. My latest work has specifically focused on how people think about diverse gender identities (e.g., transgender and nonbinary identities).
