Dr. Goff's research focuses on the intersection of identity and social justice--particularly in criminal justice contexts. His research can be roughly divided into four areas: (1) Stereotype threat for Whites in interracial contexts, (2) Mental representations of stigmatized groups, (3) Intersectional identity processes (4) The ways in which each of these processes relate to policing and the criminal justice system.Since Dr. Goff graduated Harvard University, he has been fascinated by structures that contribute to social injustice but lack out-group animus (as the sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva puts it, "racism without racists"). During his studies at Stanford University, Dr. Goff was able to compliment his interest in "new" forms of social injustice with research on identity processes. Dr. Goff is also a Mellon and Ford Fellow. The support given by these communities of scholars inspired him to found Penn State's Africana Research Center Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program which he coordinated for two years before leaving for UCLA.
