Diana Sanchez

Graduate student, Social Psychology and Women's Studies

I came to Michigan from Annandale, NY where I attended Bard College. While being the captain of the women's volleyball team, working at the rape crisis center, and performing at local coffee shops, I managed to graduate with a B.A. in psychology and a minor in gender studies. I entered the Social Psychology and Women's Studies Program at the University of Michigan in 2000 and I have worked with this lab since then.

My work in the Multiple Identities and Interpersonal Interactions Lab concerns social identity. I aminterested in looking at multiple group identities in a single domain. Currently, I am exploring the different ways in which racial identity is experienced for biracial individuals and whether biracial identity can be situationally adaptive.
