Through my research, I have accumulated substantial experience with all elements of the process of developing, implementing, and evaluating pro-diversity and anti-prejudice initiatives, as well as presenting data and information in a variety of contexts.

​

Development:

• Conducting interviews and focus groups with individuals from different backgrounds about social climate.

• Writing and distributing climate surveys that provide meaningful information about social climate.

• Conducting observational research to capture real-world intergroup behavior.

• Selecting relevant scientific theories and translating these ideas into clear messaging.

​

Implementation:

• Choosing the form, distribution channel(s), timing, and location for a given initiative.

• Coordinating with individuals across organizations to ensure implementation fidelity.

​

Evaluation:

• Selecting compelling outcomes that speak to the success of a given initiative.

• Using experimental methods to provide the strongest tests of effectiveness.

• Collecting a range of types of outcome data, including actual intergroup behavior, self-reported attitudes and motivation, well-being, performance, etc.

• Conducting sophisticated data analyses and presenting results of these analyses in a clear way to a general audience, including visual aids.

​

Presentation:

• Sharing the results of scientific research for both specialized and general audiences.

• Giving lectures and talks on topics related to prejudice and discrimination, motivation science, etc.

• Leading workshops on improving climate in the classroom/workplace, designing effective pro-diversity interventions, etc.
