Kengthsagn Louis
Assistant Professor
Biography
Dr. Louis's research applies a socio-cultural-psychological lens to the relationships among health, the self, others, and social contexts to develop novel theories and robust interventions that can help lessen health disparities, improve public health, and promote healthier societies. For example, her work examines: 1) how people's understanding of the self relates to their approach to health across individual and structural levels (e.g., policy support), 2) how these dynamics influence patients' navigation of potentially discriminatory healthcare interactions, and 3) how understanding these processes can help design interventions to disrupt inequities.
