SANAZ TALAIFAR
I am an Assistant Professor in Organisational Behaviour in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship at Imperial College London. Prior to joining Imperial, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in Organizational Behavior at Stanford University. I earned my PhD in Social and Personality Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin.
Broadly, I study self and identity processes. I am particularly interested in understanding identity processes against the backdrop of key features of modern society: demographic diversity, democratic backsliding, and the diffusion of digital technology into all facets of life.
My research has been published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Perspectives on Psychological Science, and Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, among other outlets. I was named a 'Rising Star' by the Association for Psychological Science and received the Heritage Dissertation Award and the Best Student Publication Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
