Tomi-Ann Roberts Tomi-Ann Roberts is Professor and Chair of Psychology at Colorado College, where she teaches courses on gender, feminist research methodologies, personality and emotions. Her research focuses on the psychological consequences of the sexualization and objectification of girls and women. The first paper she co-authored on this topic is the most cited article in the 35-year history of the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly. She served on the American Psychological Association”s Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls, is coauthor of the Sexualization of Girls and Girlhood: Causes, Consequences and Resistance (Oxford), and continues to work on both empirical research, applied consulting work, and advocacy efforts to improve the lives of girls and women by enhancing their relationship to their embodied selves. Nicola Curtin Nicola Curtin is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Clark University and Visiting Research Associate at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. Her primary line of research examines the roles of life experiences, individual differences, and social identities in commitments to creating social change, with a particular emphasis on ally and coalitional activism. She explores the development of social change attitudes and behaviors across different social contexts, with a focus on United States identity-based rights activism. In a secondary line of research, she examines perceptions of fit and success in academia, focusing on the role of marginal statuses (such as being a working class or international student), advisor support, and academic and professional experiences among graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. In both lines of research she is concerned with how one’s social group membership can combine with other features of the social context to generate positive outcomes. Lauren E. Duncan Lauren E. Duncan is Professor of Psychology at Smith College. She earned degrees in Personality Psychology and Women”s Studies and teaches courses in the Psychology of Women and Gender, Political Psychology, and the Psychology of Political Activism. Her research interests include understanding how social events shape people’s life outcomes and how individuals become motivated to change society or maintain the status quo. She is teaching a free MOOC (massive open online course) called Psychology of Political Activism: Women Changing the World on the ed X platform and is currently working on a psychobiography of Gloria Steinem for an Oxford series on Inner Lives. She is a Fellow of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (APA Division 9). Lilia M. Cortina Lilia M. Cortina is Professor of Psychology, Women’s Studies, and (by courtesy) Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan. Her research revolves around workplace victimization, which can range from subtle social slights to general disrespect to blatant harassment and violence. One line of this work addresses harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender – focusing on the contours and consequences of harassing experiences. In another research stream, Lilia investigates workplace incivility: everyday rude, condescending, and ostracizing acts that violate social norms of respect. In addition, she periodically serves as an expert witness, translating findings from science to inform policy and legal decision-making surrounding sexual harassment. In recognition of unusual and outstanding contributions to the field, Professor Cortina has been named Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
