We are passionate about supporting diverse epistemologies in science and in our lab, and we value engaging individuals from different backgrounds in the process of scientific discovery. We believe that conducting research that is theory-driven, empirically rigorous, and speaks to the lived experience of underrepresented and understudied groups and individuals provides fertile soil for broadening participation in science and broadening the impact of science on people’s lives. Inclusive and personally-relevant research and education at all levels is a core value of our lab.
