Tiffany Brannon is an assistant professor of social psychology at the University of California–Los Angeles. Her research examines socio-cultural identities in negatively stereotyped groups, such as African–Americans and Latino–Americans. She also investigates the potential for these identities to serve as a psychological resource, one that can facilitate a variety of individual and intergroup benefits. She received her Ph.D. in social psychology from Stanford University.
