Pronouns: He, Him, His
Angelo Cusimano is a PhD candidate in Basic and Applied Social Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center. He is doing his dissertation research on an important and understudied topic: health inequity among U.S. Multiracial women.
Angelo is most interested in the self, social identity (race, gender, sexuality, and social class), and intersectionality, with a particular focus on how racially/ethnically diverse people recognize and respond to stereotyping and prejudice before, during, and after controversial interracial interactions (e.g., discussions of police brutality, racism, or police violence). His Master's thesis, for example, examined how U.S. monoracial White participants' concerns about appearing prejudiced shape their interactions with Black-White Biracial individuals, when compared to monoracial white and Black interaction partners. He is also interested in how gender, particularly, marginalized genders (e.g., TGNC) intersects with race and social class to shape experiences of visibility and belonging among U.S. Multiracial women.
Angelo holds a BA in Psychology and Political Science from Stony Brook University, SUNY, (go Seawolves!) with a minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and an MA, MPhil (en route, 2023) in Basic and Applied Social Psychology from the CUNY Graduate Center. Angelo is proudly faculty @ John Jay College, CUNY, and Baruch College, CUNY, in addition to mentoring undergraduate students at Hostos Community College.
