Talks
I frequently communicate research findings to diverse stakeholders, including organization partners, specialist and non-specialist audiences. I believe that engaging and accessible research communications increase public trust toward science and ultimately ensure research is put into use.

#SomethingElse: Omission and Perceived Discrimination Galvanized Civic Engagement Among Native Americans
Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues Annual Conference, San Juan, PR, June 2022
I gave a 15-minute talk on how the under-representations of Native Americans in mainstream society impacts Native individuals' well-being and civic engagement. This talk is part of a symposium focused on social activism with a multidisciplinary audience consisting of psychologists, sociologies, policymakers, healthcare workers, and social workers.
Frozen in Time: Native Americans = People of the Past?
UW Engage Science 2022, Seattle, WA, May 2022
In this 30-minute talk, I explained the concept and manifestation of the historical stereotype of Native Americans -- which entails depicting Native Americans as outdated figures in the 18th/19th-century context (such as the Disney movie Pocahontas) while omitting any modern representations of them -- via real-world examples and research evidence. This talk is part of a science speaker series in which scientists communicate their work and findings to the non-specialist public in an accessible, engaging, and inclusive way.
#NotAllWhites: White Americans Disidentify from Their Racial Ingroup Under Group-Image Threat
Society for Personality and Social Psychology Annual Convention, San Francisco, CA, February 2022
I gave a 15-minute focused on the image of White Americans as anti-egalitarian, which emerged since Trump's presidential election, and such image's attitudinal and behavioral impacts on liberal-leaning White Americans. This talk is part of a symposium on egalitarianism and social justice, with a specialist audience predominantly consisting of psychologists.
