Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding how biopsychosocial mechanisms influence health and disease processes as a function of weight stigma and masculinity. I examine (i) intersecting social identities in the experience of stigma and discrimination; (ii) physical and psychological health consequences of weight stigma as well as how individuals cope with these experiences; and (iii) the role of masculinity in men’s health stress, and interactions with the healthcare system.
