School of Media and Communication

Lisa Hanasono, Ph.D.

Profile:

My research focuses on the ways that people communicate, process, and cope with prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes. I am particularly interested in (a) how discrimination affects targets’ well-being and (b) the ways that social support may help people cope more effectively with discrimination. I am also interested in gender and cultural differences in supportive communication. My research has been published in journals, such as Communication Quarterly, Human Communication Research, and Sex Roles.
