Graduate Students
Steven Jones
I am a sixth-year graduate student working with Dr. Rudman. I am a diversity scientist focused on investigating issues that impact equal opportunity. Specifically, I examine majority and minority perceptions of various phenomena, including in-group bias, sexism, and cronyism. My recent research suggests that Black men’s masculine identification is positively related to their sexism, which is negatively related to their support of gender equality and mediates the positive relationship between their masculine identity and support for gender equality. Further, Black men’s racial identity moderated the link between masculine identification and the endorsement of sexism.

Lina H. Saud
I am a sixth year graduate student working with Dr. Rudman. My research examines the ideological motivations for prejudice among majority group members, and introduces work on minority group members' experiences of collective guilt. One line of research examined how social Darwinism, an ostensibly bygone ideology on social relations that was popular at the turn of the 20th century, prevails today, motivating prejudicial attitudes and behaviors. Other work targets ideological roots of anti-immigrant prejudice in an attempt to improve attitudes toward immigrants in the U.S; and examines the structure of stereotypes toward Muslims in the U.S. My dissertation research turns the lens of inquiry to minority group members, examining whether collective guilt exists among minorities and how it manifests.

Rachel A. Cultice
I am a fifth year graduate student working with Dr. Rudman. My research investigates intergroup and interpersonal dynamics with a focus on reducing disparities and discrimination experienced by women. My recent work in the Social Cognition Lab has shown that gay men are invested in patriarchy; this is mitigated, however, by a stronger identity as a gay man, and through perceived solidarity with women's fight for civil rights.
