Bio: 

Rachel Connor is a postdoctoral associate at the Center for Research on Ending Violence (REV) at Rutgers School of Social Work. She received her PhD in Social Psychology and Social Policy from Princeton University. Her research passions are inequality, prejudice, and stereotyping as they relate to gender and its intersections with other axes of disadvantage. Ideological mechanisms of gender inequality maintenance are of particular interest in her research. Previous research projects have examined how sexist ideology creates attitudinal resistance to gender income equality and how it fuels the use of derogatory gendered language. At REV, she is involved with the Campus Climate and Violence Against Women Research Consortium Projects.
