Graduate Certificate Student in LGBTQ Studies
About
Ben is a doctoral student in the Personality and Social Contexts Area within the Psychology Department. He is broadly interested in how the experience of intersectional racial and sexual identities affects academic outcomes. In his work with Dr. Abigail Stewart, he is interested in individual differences in people’s stigma and identity-related experiences, and how this affects academic outcomes and experiences in educational contexts. In his work with Dr. Denise Sekaquaptewa, he is interested in studying the ways in which gendered stereotypes about queer people influence their academic outcomes, as well as treatment by their straight peers, specifically in STEM contexts.
