She received her BA from Harvard College and her PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan. Dr. Settles taught at Michigan State University for 15 years in the Department of Psychology. Using an interdisciplinary, intersectional framework, her research focuses on two related processes: the experiences, perceptions, and consequences of unfair treatment directed at devalued social group members, especially Black people and women; and protective factors and coping strategies used by members of devalued social groups to counteract experiences of mistreatment, especially those protective factors related to group identity (e.g., racial identity). Two major research projects she is currently working on are an examination of the experiences of faculty of color in academia and the role of diversity in interdisciplinary team dynamics.

- Apr 2312:00 PMCrafting with Data: Introduction to Zines and BookbindingBuilding: Tisch Library City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Digital Design Studio Open to Public: Yes Primary Audience: Students (Undergraduate) Event Type: Lecture/Presentation/Seminar Event Subject: Arts,Engineering/Technology,Humanities Event Contact Name: Kaylen Dwyer Event Contact Email: kaylen.dwyer@tufts.edu Link: https://tufts.libcal.com/event/14062093 “Crafting with Data” explores data analysis and visualization from a data feminist perspective, examining methods for critical making and physicalization through arts and crafts. Data physicalizations create tangible, embodied representations of data, engaging both creators and audiences in the labor behind the data, its contents, and presentation. The workshop will guide participants through the basics of zines as a potential medium for data collection, inquiry, visualization, and sharing in community. We will have supplies for zine-making, but you are welcome to bring your supplies. You can join us or do your own thing and explore visualization through felting, crochet, drawing, or whatever interests you. The workshop is scheduled until 1:30 p.m., but we will stick around for open creative time. Please bring a laptop.
