Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

My interdisciplinary program of research contributes to our understanding of how individuals process political and sociocultural information. Specifically, I study the effects of various forms of media using techniques from cognitive and emotional psychology and neuroscience. I’m primarily interested in how messages influence individuals' identity development, decision-making capabilities, and psychological behavior.
