About

I am a Donald P. Jacobs Scholar and Assistant Professor in Management & Organizations at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

My research addresses how and why biased thoughts (beliefs) and feelings (attitudes) of social groups change. Why do some biases progress towards tolerance while others increase in hostility? What kinds of events, policies, and psychological interventions in society can help reduce prejudice, discrimination, and stigma? I use multiple methods (from psychology and sociology to computer science and history) and multiple levels of analysis (from the individual to the culture) to understand how we change across the long and short timespans of history.

Diversity and Equity: I am committed to promoting diversity and equity in the academy and beyond. Part of this commitment is ensuring that all students and researchers have access to high-quality mentorship. Please see the resources page here to learn more about what it’s like to be a graduate student or a scientist in psychology.

Land Acknowledgment: I am grateful to do my work at Northwestern University on the traditional homelands of the people of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk nations. The campus was a site of trade, travel, gathering and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes and is still home to over 100,000 tribal members in the state of Illinois.
