Denise Barth

Denise Barth was a graduate student in the IFSN lab. As a researcher, she is interested in how we categorize and stereotype individuals based on various identities, such as race, and additionally how our biases and environments interact to influence our perceptions of others. She hopes to be able to apply findings related to these research interests to contemporary social issues. Previously, Denise was involved in research looking at working memory deficits in individuals with concealable stigmatized identities and completed a master’s thesis which studied environmental influences (i.e. racial prototypicality, group identity composition) of race categorization. In her free time, she likes to explore areas around Newark and read about social justice issues. Denise is planning to apply her graduate training for UX research.
