About
Matthew is a postdoctoral research fellow funded by the NICHD T32 post-doctoral research fellowship in Developmental Science at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on gender identity development. During his masters and PhD program he focused on the socialization of pressure to conform to gender norms, the outcome of acquiescing to or rebelling against this pressure, and how these processes might change over time. In his current work, he is adding to those research aims by including a biological focus (e.g., what role do hormones play in developing gender identity) as well as an intraindividual focus using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods. When not working on school things he is generally cooking, running, or reading novels (always happy for good book recommendations)!
