Elizabeth Quinn-Jensen, Ph.D.
Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Hi! I'm Elizabeth (Liz). I am a social psychologist who explores the richness, complexity, and ambiguity of diversity at the individual and societal levels, with a focus on social identities that do not fit neatly into one category. My research examines how people's understanding of multiple and intermediate identities (e.g., Biracial people, bisexual people) impact peoples intergroup judgements, as well as the role of diversity norms and policies on intergroup relations. I use experimental, longitudinal, and developmental methodologies to test these questions. Currently, I am a Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University, working with Drs. Stacey Sinclair and Nicole Shelton. I earned my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the Spring of 2025, under the mentorship of Drs. Brenda Major and Zoe Liberman. I was funded by the University of California’s Eugene Cota-Robles Research Fellowship. Before graduate school, I earned my B.S. in psychology from Northwestern University and then served for two years as a lab manager at the University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business.
