Pronouns: He, Him, His
Angelo Cusimano is a Basic and Applied Social Psychology PhD student at the Graduate Center, CUNY, and a member of the Daryl Wout Lab at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Before beginning his PhD, he completed a summer internship in organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management and a summer undergraduate research fellowship at Cornell University.
Angelo's research explores the self, social identity, and intersectionality, with a particular focus on how people recognize and respond to stereotyping and prejudice during interracial interactions. His work examines how U.S. monoracial White participants' concerns about appearing prejudiced shape their interactions with Black-White Biracial individuals. He is also interested in how gender intersects with race to shape experiences of visibility and belonging, including research on Multiracial women's experiences of intersectional invisibility and the implications for health, well-being, and inclusion.
Angelo holds a BA in Psychology and Political Science from Stony Brook University, SUNY, with a minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and an MA in Psychology from the Graduate Center, CUNY.
