Adrian Villicana
Associate Professor
About
Dr. Villicana’s research is generally in identity, social cognition, and social issues. He considers himself an identity researcher where he investigates how our social identities (like race, gender, sexual orientation) influence our thoughts, behaviors, and interpersonal interactions. Moreover, a critical aspect of his approach is to consider intersections of identities. He applies the latter perspective to his work to contribute to the dismantling of the androcentric, ethnocentric, and heterocentric knowledge that is primarily represented in the psychological literature.
Research Interests: identity, prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, person / social perception, allyship, intersectionality, perceptions of neurodivergence (new interest)
