In the Social Perception and Cognition lab, we examine how subtle patterns people encounter every day can reinforce and even challenge social inequities.  We integrate social cognition, vision science, and developmental methods to answer questions about the maintenance of power differences among social groups.  We draw on various approaches with the goal of designing research questions so that they contribute to scientific knowledge and have clear, broad social benefits.  Click the links above to learn more about the lab and how you can get involved.

Note: I will not be reviewing applications for the upcoming cycle, but my colleagues (Garriy Shteynberg, Lowell Gaertner, Jeff Larsen, and Michael Olson) will all review applications for PhD students who would like to join the Social Psychology PhD program in Fall 2025.
