Kat Yee is a fourth-year doctoral student in Human Development. She received her B.A. in Psychology from New York University, where she later worked as a lab manager and conducted research promoting children's engagement in science. As a graduate student, her work investigates how children think about social groups, their perceptions of inequality and social mobility, and the implications for intergroup behavior and reasoning. Her research has broad implications for scholars, parents, and educators' efforts to help children overcome marginalized identities and barriers to success.
