I am a Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan, with thirty-four years of experience in social psychological research and teaching on the general topics of intergroup relations. I have published eight books and monographs, as well as numerous articles that have examined how group membership and identification affect the personal and social outcomes of various groups in American society, among them racial and ethnic groups, gender groups, age groups, and social class groups. Much of my work has utilized national surveys conducted by the Institute for Social Research, where I have been a Faculty Associate since 1968. Since 1990-91, I have conducted research on student experience with diversity at the University of Michigan. I am a member of the Russell Sage Foundation's Committee on Race, Culture, and Contact, and have contributed to numerous conferences and symposia on this general topic. I have taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in social psychology, as well as courses in the role of race and ethnicity in American society. I served as the chairperson of the Department of Psychology, one of the top-ranked psychology departments in the country, from 1991-98. Since September 1998, I have been Interim Dean of the College of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts. A complete curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, is attached hereto as Appendix A.
