Faculty ProfileDr. Kimberly Fairchild
Education:
Research and Scholarly Interests:My recent research has focused on the consequences of women’s experience with stranger harassment (i.e. being whistled and catcalled in public places). The evidence suggests that experiences with stranger harassment are related to objectification, fear of rape, restriction in movement. I am interested in further exploring these consequences as well as the motivations of street harassers. Additionally, I am interested in exploring the relationship between self-objectification and vanity. My research suggests that the two concepts as they are currently assessed may be highly confounded. Finally, I wish to continue using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to uncover hidden associations between concepts and evaluations.
