My heart is full from all the questions I got this year from @spssi.bsky.social conference! I got to present my work examining how identity denial from either ingroup or outgroup members can predict Multiracial wellbeing. Being Multiracial myself this work is close to home and I hope it is a start!

Great to see our lab presenting such important research. Proud of my lab mate and alum!
The lab had a great time @spssi.bsky.social! @mohammadwiswall.bsky.social presented new data looking at multiracial Asian identity denial, @kirbylam.bsky.social discussed new masculine norm work, and lab alum @adamstanaland.bsky.social presented his newest work on masculinity too! #spssicon25

More congrats for my lab! @mohammadwiswall.bsky.social received a Clara Mayo Research Grant from SPSSI for his new work that will test how the diversity of one’s context can shift identity denial experiences for Multiracial Asian individuals!
