I study how social and cultural contexts shape people's understanding of the world. My current projects span several areas: (a) the influence of culture on individuals' interpersonal and moral judgments, (b) the sources and implications of racial identity among Whites, (c) the manner in which laypeople understand societal inequality, and (d) the role of social and political ideologies in impeding social change.
