As a developmental psychologist and identity scholar, Onnie is interested in the mechanisms through which macro-level structures and ideologies of privilege and oppression are both perpetuated and disrupted at the micro-level of identities and relationships. Their projects focus on how racially and ethnically diverse children and adolescents make sense of their racial, ethnic and gender identities in relation to oppressive ideologies and stereotypes; how identity processes develop over time and across sociocultural contexts; and the ways young people resist oppression and construct counternarratives and pathways toward liberation.

Onnie received my PhD in developmental psychology from New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development and hold a BA in psychology and educational studies from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
