A quote attributed to Aldo Barrita: “Receiving this award during Pride Month is deeply meaningful. It’s a reminder that research has the power not only to understand the LGBTQ+ BIPOC experience but to affirm, uplift, and drive lasting change. I’m honored to contribute to a legacy of scholarship that celebrates our communities’ resilience, resistance, complexity, and humanity.”

Congrats to Dr. Aldo Barrita for receiving The Barbara Smith & Jewell E. Horvat Early Career Award for Research on LGBTQ Individuals of Color Award from APA Division 45.

A quote attributed to Aldo Barrita that says: “I hope that one day my area of research is no longer needed. My dream is to see a world where discussions about oppression and the need for liberation processes are no longer necessary. If my research becomes obsolete due to progress in society, that would be a dream come true.”

Meet Dr. Aldo Barrita, the first Dean’s Research Associate in Michigan State's Department of Psychology! His research focuses on the oppression & experiences of minoritized groups.

Hi everyone. I'm a social psychologist by training but also dabble in developmental and health psychology. My work explores White people's willingness to confront their own racial biases, the consequences of this awareness (or lack thereof), and how they socialize their children about racism.

Thank you
