Research

Dr. Park-Taylor's research program focuses on the intersection of individual's social identities (e.g., career, ethnic, racial, gender, religious) and the influence of contextual factors (e.g., microaggressions, school and community) on identity development.

She is also interested in various areas of health psychology and is currently exploring the utility of mindfulness for career, education and mental health interventions.
