Dr. Gabriel Camacho
Dr. Camacho is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He received his B.A. (2012) in Psychology from the University of Virginia and his M.S. (2016) and Ph.D. (2020) from the University of Connecticut. He joined John Jay in 2020. One line of his research examines how phenotype influences the prototypicality and stereotyping of Latine individuals, as well as how clothing alters these perceptions across minoritized ethnic groups. In another line of research, he investigates individual differences that make members of minoritized ethnic groups more susceptible to experiencing social identity threat and how identity safety cues can mitigate this threat. Together, his work advances our understanding of how appearance-based and contextual factors shape social perception and identity-related experiences, with implications for reducing bias and promoting more inclusive environments.
Haniya's research interests primarily revolve around investigating the antecedents and consequences of religious and other identity-based stigma using social identity and intersectionality frameworks. In the past, she has conducted stigma and prejudice-focused research by employing survey experiments and natural language processing techniques. Her latest studies focus on how stigma drives endorsement of certain conspiracy theories. Prior to joining BASP, Haniya worked at the Sidanius Lab (Harvard University), and was a research assistant and program manager on a project funded by the International Growth Centre, UK.
Bryant's current research interests are racial-ethnic identity integration, sociocultural norms, stigma, well-being, and urban health disparities. Specifically, Bryant is interested in examining how people with stigmatized identities (e.g., BIPOC) perceive social support in comparison to those who are non-stigmatized and whether certain sociocultural norms (e.g., cultural values), in relation to their identity, influence certain psychosocial outcomes.
Joseluz’s current research interests are broadly on intergroup behaviors. More specifically, to examine how individuals experience group membership via the lens of social identification, self-categorization, self-prototypicality, and the experience of stigma. Currently examining the experiences of Latinx folks with plans to investigate the educational experiences of transfer students and those with disabilities.
Jane’s research interests focus on intersectionality and understanding the mechanisms of co-occurring systems of social inequality. She examines how people with multiple marginalized identities experience inequality and how these individuals are perceived by others. Her current work examines how perceptions of race and gender intersect to shape judgments of status and femininity/masculinity.
