WE-search Lab

at New York University is directed by Dr. Ashwini Ashokkumar.

Our lab is moving! We are moving to Harvard University starting Fall 2025. Check out this page for open positions. 

We use an array of methods including language analysis to answer questions related to the psychology of "we": 

• How do our identities shape, and get shaped by, our behaviors?

• What are the meanings and narratives around our sense of "we"?

• How are our identities linked to how we tackle social problems?

• How do we signal our social identities on social media?

• How does identity politics shape democracy?
