Our lab is dedicated to understanding how identity and culture shape the lived experience of individuals, and how systems can facilitate wholeness, wellness, and liberation. A primary focus of this lab is the exploration of intersectional Black identity, experience, and mental health, and the factors that promote mental wellness, healing, and liberation among members of the African diaspora. A second focus is translational work for inclusion, equity, social change, justice, and transformation.

​

Our lab is positioned within sociocultural psychology- with a recognition of historical, social, political, and economic influences on the psychological outcomes of individuals- and is grounded in critical consciousness, antiracism, feminism, social and transformative justice, and holistic wellness.

Individual and institutional capacity for cultural consciousness and cultural humility

Black Identity and Experience
