  • Beyond Bouncing Back: Identity, stigma, and workplace resilience

    Beyond Bouncing Back: Identity, stigma, and workplace resilience
    Nov 25 2025
    In the midst of this season of gratitude, I feel especially grateful to be able to share this episode with you featuring Dr. Danielle King and focusing on the meaning and measurement of resilience. Our conversation focused primarily on resilience in the workplace and how stigma, chronic stress, and systemic factors shape the opportunity for resilience - drawing from her recent paper in American Psychologist outlining a stigma-conscious framework for resilience. Throughout this conversation, Dr. King also explained the limitations of trait-based definitions of resilience, emphasizing the importance of dynamic and context-sensitive measurement. Dr. Danielle King is an Associate Professor of Organizational Psychology and the Associate Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at Rice University. She is the founder and principal investigator of the WorKing Resilience Research Laboratory. Her research and teaching portfolios focus on promoting motivation, leadership, resilience, thriving, voice, and belonging. Her research is frequently published in top journals like American Psychologist and popular media outlets including Harvard Business Review. Dr. King's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, including a prestigious 5-year NSF Career Award, which is designated for scholars who serve as role models and leaders in research and education by advancing science for the betterment of society. She has also received some of the top awards in the field from both APA and APS.

  • Rising Economic Inequality: How social class shapes our lives with Dr. Michael Kraus

    Rising Economic Inequality: How social class shapes our lives with Dr. Michael Kraus
    Oct 28 2025
    For this episode, I spoke with Dr. Michael Kraus about the widening gap between the richest and the poorest in our society (aka rising economic inequality). We discussed how social class shapes every domain of our lives and how class segregation creates distinct cultural patterns and norms. Dr. Kraus also emphasized how quickly and acurately people can perceive social class, the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate inequality, and the profound ways economic inequality affects our social interactions and well-being on a daily basis. Dr. Michael Kraus is a Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University and Morton O. Schapiro Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research. Dr. Kraus is a social psychologist who studies how inequality fundamentally shapes the dynamics of human social interactions. Much of his research focuses on the behavioral and emotional states that maintain and perpetuate economic and racial inequality in society. His research is consistently published in top journals and has been highlighted by numerous media outlets including ABC World News, National Public Radio, and the Wall Street Journal.

  • Political Polarization and Health: Navigating the social media divide with Dr. Jay Van Bavel

    Political Polarization and Health: Navigating the social media divide with Dr. Jay Van Bavel
    Sep 30 2025
    For this episode, I spoke with Dr. Jay Van Bavel about political polarization as a threat to individual and societal health, which is particularly salient as we're seeing more politically-motivated violence. Specifically, we discussed the dangers of rising political polarization, how social media incentives contribute to polarization, and why we should consider political polarization as a social determinant of health. Through this episode, listeners will learn more about the psychological mechanisms behind polarization, potential interventions to reduce social and political tensions, and how social media drives polarization. Dr. Jay Van Bavel is a Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations, Professor at the Norwegian School of Economics, and Director of the Center for Conflict & Cooperation. His research examines how collective concerns—group identities, moral values, and political beliefs—shape the mind, brain, and behavior. He studies these issues using a combination of neuroimaging, lesion patients, social cognitive tasks, economic tasks, cross-cultural surveys, and computational social science. Dr. Van Bavel has published over 150 academic papers in top journals (including in Science, Nature, PNAS) and is a Clarivate highly cited researcher (meaning he's in the top 1% of researchers worldwide!). Beyond his research, I deeply admire his excellent science communication and the way he has translated his research for both the public and policymakers. For example, he co-authored The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony (which won the APA William James Book Award). His work has also been cited in the US Supreme Court and Senate and he has consulted with the White House, United Nations, European Union, and World Health Organization.
