Sean Bogart
I am a third-year student in the Experimental Psychology program at Ohio University. I received my BA in Psychology from Penn State Behrend, and an M.S. in Experimental Psychology from Seton Hall University in 2019. My main research interests focus on political intergroup relations and polarization, moral reasoning and decision-making, and counterfactuals.
Brier Gallihugh (he/him)
I’m a third year social psychology doctoral student. I graduated in 2017 from Saginaw Valley State University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in biology. After SVSU I attended Eastern Michigan University to obtain a Masters degree in General Experimental Psychology which I anticipate obtaining in the Fall of 2020. From a research interest perspective, I’m most interested in investigating the ingroup and outgroup dynamics that often lead to prejudice and discrimination within religious, political and racial contexts.

Cameron Mackey
I am a fourth-year doctoral student in the Experimental Psychology program at Ohio University. I double-majored in Psychology and Sociology at Jacksonville State University (AL). Then, I moved to Chattanooga, TN and received my Master's in Research Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. My research interests involve intergroup relations involving religious and political identities. More specifically, I am interested in stereotyping and discrimination among the religious and nonreligious and political polarization.

William (Bill) Silvia (he/him/they/them)
I am a third-year student in the Ohio University Experimental Social Psychology Program. I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Interdisciplinary Studies with Multi-Cultural and Gender Studies concentrations from Western Connecticut State University. I research intergroup relations, stereotypes, and discrimination. My research particularly emphasizes how a perceiver’s stereotypes of one group affect how they view other groups, usually including a gender or sexuality component.
