Description of Research

Broadly speaking, my research integrates social psychological and feminist theories of power and oppression. Specifically, I study topics related to the formation and expression of prejudice, including the interrelationships among different types of oppressive beliefs (e.g., racism, sexism, and negative attitudes toward rape victims). I also study how those unique forms of oppression contribute to an overall system of inequality, including examinations of how individuals contribute to their own oppression.
