GET INVOLVED

Discrimination is a robust psychosocial stressor— but its impact isn’t evenly felt.

People targeted with discrimination vary in how they respond to it, and we want to understand why. At the CUSP Lab, we examine how personal vulnerabilities and sources of resilience shape the mental and physical health effects of discrimination.

When is discrimination most harmful?

We take a life course perspective to investigate how the timing and accumulation of discrimination affect well-being. Our research considers whether certain developmental stages are more sensitive to harm, how repeated exposure compounds health risks, and how discrimination can ripple outward — affecting not just targets but also their close relationships through vicarious stress.

Why it matters?

By clarifying the impacts of both direct and vicarious discrimination, we aim to support thriving and well-being among people in stigmatized communities.
