Jessica Glazier
Assistant Professor, Psychology
-
Jessica Glazier is a social and developmental psychologist whose research challenges norms and common assumptions that people hold about social categories (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.), such as the assumption that gender is binary, that racial categories are discrete, or that everyone experiences sexual attraction. Glazier’s work borrows from the methods and theories of social, developmental, and cognitive psychology as well as feminist and LGBT studies to explore the implications of these and other assumptions and to characterize the experiences of people who defy assumptions about social categories (e.g., transgender people, multiracial people, asexual people, etc.). The goal of Glazier’s work is to expand our understanding social cognition in youth and adults by being inclusive of both perceptions of and the perspectives of people often left out of research and to use this knowledge to target specific timely social issues experienced by these groups. Glazier was a postdoctoral research associate at Northeastern University and earned a master’s and doctorate in psychological science from the University of Washington and a bachelor’s from Albion College.
