Related Research Interests
As a social-organizational psychologist, I employ a culturally-responsive and well-being-centered approach to study and empower people to effectively rise as allies with those who are marginalized. I’ve studied and advised on projects that address a variety of social issues using an allyship lens, from gender-based violence and women’s empowerment, to climate action and wellbeing, in countries ranging from Congo and Kenya, to Fiji and Pacific Island Countries, to United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Yemen.
