Information for Students Interested in Applying to Rutgers' Social Psychology Graduate Program to Work with Me
(Last updated 1-13-12)

I am not taking on any new graduate students starting Fall, 2013.

HOWEVER, Rutgers has a terrific social psychology program.  If you are interested
in working with me, depending on your exact interests and flexibility, there are quite a few
faculty here with interests sufficiently close to mine that you should apply. 

For example, Drs. Rudman, Sanchez, & Wilder have all done some very influential
research on stereotypes and prejudice.  Dr. Aiello has done real world work with diversity programs,
and Dr. Contrada has studied the role of prejudice in health and mental health.  Our newest addition,
Dr. Tomiyama, has interests in stereotype threat and obesity stigma.  Dr. Ogilvie has done some
very interesting work in self, identity, political psychology, and has recently started a very creative
program of research on the psychology of people's beliefs in the soul.  Gretchen Chapman does
terrific work on decision-making, heuristics, and biases, and some of Howard Leventhal's most recent
health psychology work draws heavily on ideas from cognitive science.  So, my suggestion is that
you apply, and let the chips fall.
