Intro
Hello, I'm Quinnehtukqut!

As of Fall 2021, I am a sixth-year PhD student in the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program. I received my BA in Psychology and Biology from Bard College, New York, in 2016. Currently, my research interests center on narratives about conflict, ingroup glorification, the psychology of dehumanization and infrahumanization, and, more broadly, how conflicts become tied to what it means to be a member of the group. An additional direction in my research focuses on psychophysiology, stress and coping, and how motivational states in response to stress are linked to reactions to ingroup-perpetrated violence. A longer-term goal in my research is to investigate bidirectional links between ingroup glorification, narratives, and infrahumanization.

 

My most recent work focuses on stress, stress appraisal, and coping with stress, and how it relates to intractable conflicts. I am also interested in how group identity forms in relation to emerging conflicts.
