I'm interested in intergroup threat/conflict, factors contributing to prejudice, and interventions aimed at reducing and confronting prejudice. My current work examines reactions to group threat (i.e., threat to Whiteness) and perceptions of immigrants (e.g., colorism) in the U.S. Another line looks at disparities in human rights afforded to different social groups.
