BRiDGE Scholar Dr. Sa-Kiera T.J. Hudson

Monday, March 21, 2022 12:00pm to Tuesday, March 22, 2022 5:00pm

Dr. Sa-Kiera T.J. Hudson

Dr. Sa-kiera T.J. Hudson is a recent doctoral graduate from the (Social) Psychology department at Harvard University. She completed her Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Jim Sidanius, Dr. Mahzarin Banaji, and Dr. Mina Cikara, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University working with Dr. Jennifer Richeson and Dr. Michael Kraus. In the Fall of 2022, she will start an Assistant Professor position at University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business in the Management of Organizations (MORS) group. She is interested in two broad questions: What are the psychological and biological roots of power hierarchies and how do these hierarchies intersect to influence experiences and perceptions?

For the first question, she is interested in the psychological and biological underpinnings of social dominance by exploring the relationship between preferences for hierarchy (i.e. SDO) and (counter-) empathy in situations of competition and threat. To address the second question, she is examining how various social hierarchies such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and class intersect as they relate to expressing and experiencing prejudice.

Dr. Hudson’s BRiDGE events are listed below, and we particularly want to highlight the BRiDGE2Impacts event as it is meant to be accessible to all disciplines.
