The IDEA lab explores how culture and diverse social identities influence behavior, cognition, health, and well-being. These identities may include race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, and more. Of particular interest are the lived experiences of underrepresented people, how those experiences relate to inclusion and equity, and the impact of those experiences on mental and physical health.
