I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in Gies College of Business, working with Dr. Denise Lewin Loyd.
I am on the 2022-2023 job market. My research falls into three themes: intergroup rivalry & competition, social identity, and diversity & inclusion. Stream 1 asks how distinguishing between intergroup rivals & competitors, as well as enemies, changes our understanding of managing conflicts. Stream 2 investigates temporal dimensions of ingroup identities: Of particular interest is how intergenerational (dis)connections to a group’s lineage influence one’s desire to leave a legacy for the group. Stream 3 is inspired by understanding the experience of being in the numerical minority in categorically diverse groups, along with investigating what actions majority group members can take to help foster constructive intergroup
environments. |
