Our lab's 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, our research aims to broaden our understanding of prejudice and stigma, especially as it relates to cognitive, health, and behavioral outcomes.

My name is Izilda Pereira-Jorge. I completed my B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and then became a lab manager at the Diversity Science Lab at Washington University in St. Louis. I am currently a 3rd year PhD student at UB. My research interests include perceptions of prejudice, allyship, and diversity cues. I enjoy hiking, painting, and being overcaffeinated with friends in my free time.

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 fronts, 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.
