Research Interest:

• Emotion perception, gender, and the intersections of social identities. My research addresses the processes through which perception and experiences of emotion serve to maintain or disrupt systems of social inequality, particularly gender. I am also involved in bridging the disciplines of women's studies and psychology, most recently in my work to integrate intersectionality theory into psychological research.
