Curriculum Vitae

Social Psychologist
Assistant Professor of Psychology
University at Buffalo, SUNY 

My research focuses on lay theories of prejudice—theories everyday people have about the ways prejudice operates in society—, prejudice confrontations, and allyship claims. By examining basic and applied questions about how people perceive, experience, and combat prejudice in their day to day lives, my research aims to broaden our understanding of prejudice and stigma, especially as it relates to cognitive, health, and behavioral outcomes.

Minh Duc Pham

My name is Minh Duc Pham (he/him; I go by both Duc & Minh Duc). I was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam, and am currently a PhD candidate at UConn. My research examines activism and intraminority solidarity through a critical lens, specifically how and why people from dominant and marginalized groups engage in activism to advance equity. Besides my scholarly work, I organize with multiple anti-racist, decolonial collectives on various front, in and outside of academia. In my free time, I like to spend time in nature, replicate my Grandma’s recipes, and conduct my own creative projects.
