I have conducted research on the nature of stigma as it relates to ethnic identity. That work examined the experiences of students of color in specific contexts (for example, predominantly-White academic institutions). I am currently researching the role of ethnicity and ethnic identity in romantic partner preferences. In addition, I am also conducting research on anti-Arab/anti-Muslim prejudice.
