Diana received her BA in Psychology from Northwestern University in 2004 and enrolled in the PhD program at UCSB in 2006. Her research interests include identity, social judgments, and categorization, particularly as they relate to social injustice and intergroup conflict. She has focused on emotional convergence in groups as it occurs through self-stereotyping. Her dissertation will explore the ways in which groups can use apology to modulate the emotions and behaviors of other ("victim") groups.
