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.
