Kate Richmond
Education
- B.A. Muhlenberg College
- PhD Nova Southeastern University
Teaching Interests
I teach courses that bring together my passion for psychology, women & gender studies, mental health, and social justice. These include Psychology of Women, Multicultural Psychology, Inside/Out Prison Exchange, Introduction to Women & Gender Studies, Research Methods, Abnormal Psychology, and Clinical Case Studies.
Research, Scholarship or Creative/Artistic Interests
I research in the areas of multicultural psychology, gender ideology, reproductive health, men and masculinity, transgender resiliency, feminist therapy, and trauma. In my research, I explore how social identity factors, such as your gender or race, influence mental health outcomes. I also explore how certain gendered experiences, like becoming a father or experiencing menstruation, can influence your relationships with others.
