Who We Are

The TUSC lab consists of faculty, graduate student, and undergraduate student researchers in the social psychology area at Tufts University.  Are you a current undergraduate who is interested in joining the lab?  Contact me if you are interested in doing research in psychology for academic credit.

 

What We Do

The TUSC Lab is focused on research programs examining social cognitive aspects of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. We seek to understand topics such as: cognitive representations and stereotypes of African Americans based on variation in skin tone and other phenotypic characteristics; the experience of stereotype threat among members of socially marginalized groups; how the perception of ulterior motives can influence social judgments; the role of social categories in spatial representation; and individual student projects covering a range of social psychological topics.  You can find more information as you peruse this site.
