Danielle Dickens is an associate professor in the department of psychology at Spelman College. As a Black feminist social psychologist, she leads a research program that uses quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine stereotypes, discrimination, and intersections of race, gender, class, and age in the US with an emphasis on Black women in the workplace, higher education, and STEM. Particularly, she is an expert in understanding how Black women’s experiences of discrimination result in a coping strategy known as identity shifting—the conscious or unconscious process of altering one’s speech, behaviors, appearance, and perspective to mitigate negative outcomes associated with discrimination. She has received grant funding from the American Psychological Foundation, UNCF (the United Negro College Fund), and the National Science Foundation. In 2019, she received the American Psychological Association (APA) Teaching of Psychology of Women Award and the 2020 APA Psychology of Black Women Foremothers Mentorship Early Career Award. In all, her teaching and research aim to contextually position and understand the lived experiences of Black women in the US, identify effective strategies to reduce inequalities, and improve their career development and mental and behavioral health outcomes. Dickens earned her BA in psychology from Spelman College and her MS and PhD from Colorado State University in applied social and health psychology.
