Professor Hazelbaker is a doctoral candidate in Human Development and Psychology at UCLA. Her program of research examines social identity development in middle childhood. She is interested in (a) the social groups that children identify with including race, ethnicity, nationality, and social class, (b) the meaning and importance that children ascribe to their group membership, and (c) how their identification relates to their attitudes about their own and other social groups. Related to this, her research also explores how children’s proximal contexts (e.g., school, home) shape their understanding of social groups. In particular, she examine the influence of parent and teacher socialization practices. She received her B.A. in Psychology and Elementary Education from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2015 and her M.A. in Education from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2017.
