Korinthia D. Nicolai is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society and a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology. She received her Ph.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University and is a proud graduate of community college. Her line of research focuses on how race and racism shape academic contexts and how those contexts shape Black and Brown students' motivation and belonging. Additionally, she explores how psychology research and the educational psychology field can better examine racism and take anti-colonial and/or critical approaches. At CRRES she will work on publishing her dissertation focused on Black and Latine STEM students’ experiences related to belonging and further continuing her line of research. She will also work on fostering and establishing collaborations with students to “talk back” to narratives about them (Annamma et al., 2013).
