Biography

Jaime Napier is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at New York University Abu Dhabi. He has a strong background in statistical analyses and his research interests broadly center on how social systems influence individual belief systems and the psychological and social consequences of those belief systems. His work particularly investigates issues related to gender, inequality, and heteronormativity. He teaches courses that address the complexities of gender studies, including topics such as the psychological perspectives on gender, sexual identities, and the social psychological effects of living in highly unequal environments. Napier encourages students to engage in research that culminates in original contributions to the field of psychology, and he has taught various courses linked to social psychology and statistical methods. He is committed to exploring the antecedents and consequences of intergroup prejudice, drawing on multiple disciplines to understand how societal structures impact individual experiences of discrimination and privilege.
