Hi! I’m Trys, a Ph.D. candidate in Social Psychology at Boston College, where I work in the Morality Lab with Dr. Liane Young. My research focuses on the intersections of morality, social identity, and political divides. I am particularly interested in how complex social identities shape social cognition and well-being, with broader implications for promoting social cohesion and reducing bias.
