A graphic that includes a headshot of Dr. Barrita with congratulations written in the background. The Spartan head is in the bottom corner. A quote attributed to Aldo Barrita: “Receiving this award during Pride Month is deeply meaningful. It’s a reminder that research has the power not only to understand the LGBTQ+ BIPOC experience but to affirm, uplift, and drive lasting change. I’m honored to contribute to a legacy of scholarship that celebrates our communities’ resilience, resistance, complexity, and humanity.”

Meet Dr. Aldo Barrita, the first Dean’s Research Associate in Michigan State's Department of Psychology! His research focuses on the oppression & experiences of minoritized groups.

Read a Q&A with Dr. Barrita here: psychology.msu.edu/news-events/...
A portrait of Aldo Barrita outside. A quote attributed to Aldo Barrita that says: “I hope that one day my area of research is no longer needed. My dream is to see a world where discussions about oppression and the need for liberation processes are no longer necessary. If my research becomes obsolete due to progress in society, that would be a dream come true.”

Elon spends nearly $300 million on getting Trump elected, and now Trump is using White House resources to promote his cars to help Elon boost his stock prices. Not even a speck of ethics left in the Trump White House.

Hi everyone. I'm a social psychologist by training but also dabble in developmental and health psychology. My work explores White people's willingness to confront their own racial biases, the consequences of this awareness (or lack thereof), and how they socialize their children about racism.

🚨 In a new article, youth reporting more racial/ethnic discrimination than their siblings showed more advanced pubertal timing (an index of accelerated biological aging). Parents' racial/ethnic identity commitment weakened this discrimination-puberty link within the family!
