Naomi Isenberg

PhD student in Social Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

(And I'm on the job market!)

Get To Know Me

I am a fifth year PhD student studying social psychology in the Brauer Group Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my BA in Psychology from Seattle Pacific University in 2017 and my MS in Social Psychology from UW-Madison in 2021. My research focuses on examining the efficacy of behavioral change mechanisms to promote support for diversity, equity, and inclusion. I then apply this knowledge to the development and testing of interventions in a variety of real-world settings. 

Growing up in Washington State, I developed a deep appreciation for coffee, nice scenery, and cloudy weather. In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my dog (a cute, little dachshund) and sister (also a grad student at UW-Madison).
