My research investigates the impact of identity (especially gender, race, and gender identity) on the ways that individuals interact within academic and medical contexts, as well as the long-term impact of these differences on interaction style. I am particularly well known for my work on cultural and identity taxation, or the extra labor that folks from marginalized groups are expected to take on in the workplace (in academic medicine, this is often called "the minority tax"). I am currently editing a special issue on this topic in Ethnic and Racial Studies, where I first published this research 10 years ago with my colleague, Tiffany Joseph.
In health professions education contexts, I am particularly interested in hidden, informal, and formal curricula related to emotions and communication. My most recent work exploring this topic, a study investigating the effects of race and gender on the assessment of medical students by standardized patients, was funded by the National Board of Medical Examiners' (NBME) Edward J. Stemmler Medical Education Research Fund. I was also recently named the inaugural Dr. Georges Bordage Medical Education Faculty Scholar in order to study issues related to professional socialization in undergraduate medical education contexts.
