I study bias in political, legal, and organizational settings
I am an Assistant Professor in Organizational Behavior in the Business School at Lehigh University and a lecturer in the Extension Schools at Harvard University.
I study the causes, consequences, and solutions to bias in judgment and behavior in applied contexts, including political, legal, and organizational settings. A critical feature of my work, about which I am particularly proud, is that I apply the knowledge I have gained from my laboratory and field research to develop and test interventions to address real-world problems.
My teaching and research interests include:
(a) Personality, social cognition, and attitudes
(b) Psychology of bias and prejudice-regulation
(c) Science communication and anti-bias education
(d) Organizational behavior and leadership
(e) Political psychology, cognition, and behavior
(f) Fake news, conspiracy theories, and ideological extremism
(g) Eyewitness evidence, policing, and legal decision-making
