Welcome to the Racial Equity and Marginalized Populations lab!

In our lab, we delve in developmental psychology by investigating connections between family dynamics and the wider social and cultural surroundings that impact psychological, social, and health outcomes. This approach enables us to understand deeper perspectives on the complexities of human development across the lifespan. Our focus on marginalized populations encompasses a broad spectrum of individuals and family configurations that confront experiences with stigmatization or “othering”. 

We address critical issues of racial equity and social justice, recognizing that these areas often intersect and are vital to fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society. Our goal is to shed light on the unique challenges faced by marginalized populations while also highlighting their resilience and strengths that may influence overall well-being.
