Long Doan, Ph.D.

Bio

How do everyday interactions become sites where social inequalities are produced, proliferated, and perpetuated? Using social psychological theories of intergroup relations, emotions, and identity, Dr. Long Doan studies how people react to the structural conditions and cultural expectations in which they find themselves, as well as how people’s sexual, gender, and racial identities shape others’ expectations of, reactions to, and treatments of them. Using a mix of experimental, survey, and time-diary methods, he evaluates competing explanations for sexuality-, gender-, and race-based inequalities in his studies.
