Christine's research interests center on identity processes as they relate to the intersections of race, class, and gender and highlight the role inequality plays in these processes. Her Masters thesis and dissertation examine the link(s) between identity and psychological well-being. Specifically, this research examines how social integration, self-meanings, and identity verification affect an individual's level of self-esteem. Her current research projects include the examination of women's identity development within the community college context and the development of a measure of ethnic identity using an identity theory framework.
