My teaching and research interests focus on intergroup relations. I am currently exploring the impact of cross group contact on students' intergroup attitudes and behavior, with a special emphasis on social identity, awareness of privilege and power, and alliance building across difference. In addition to teaching courses in Social Psychology, Intergroup Relations & Dialogue, and Introductory Psychology, I offer seminars on Chicanos and Chicanas in the U.S., Visions of Love and Community, and Social Identity and Group Consciousness.
