Welcome! My name is Veronica Derricks and as of Fall 2024, I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. 

 

My research program focuses primarily on understanding the psychosocial mechanisms that perpetuate disparities in health and organizational outcomes. Moreover, I am interested in using this knowledge to develop interventions that improve healthcare delivery and mitigate threat in organizational settings, particularly for members of minoritized groups.

Areas of Interest: Disparities, Health Communication, Identity, Identity Threat, Persuasion, Stigma
