RESEARCH
Which psychological dispositions, ideologies, and situations foster acceptance of social change? Which of them support the maintenance of the status quo? How do people think about their social position and identities - e.g., their membership in high or low status groups, their race/ethnicity - and what implications do these ways of thinking have for social change? These are the major themes in my research in social identity, political psychology, and social cognition more generally. Below are my papers and projects currently in progress.
