Biography

Negin Ghavami is an associate professor of psychology at Loyola Marymount University. She teaches psychology of gender and psychology of diversity as well as research methods, general psychology and social psychology. Her work broadly focuses on social processes that produce social inequity or promote social justice. Her research examines how social and structural factors shape the meaning and significance of social identities – sexual orientation, gender, race/ethnicity and social class – and in turn, affect stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination as well as well-being and educational outcomes. Given the interdisciplinary nature of her work, Dr. Ghavami employs a wide range of research methods and conducts studies with diverse populations of children, adolescents and adults on the internet, in the community, and in schools.
