| Description | Neda Moinolmolki, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Albertus Magnus College dedicated to teaching and engaging in equity-based pedagogy-related research in higher education. As a strong advocate for social justice and transformative praxis, she is passionate about applying psychological science to create a more equitable and inclusive world. Her teaching and scholarship are founded in critical theory and translational approaches, with a particular focus on resilience and the fostering of social agency throughout the lifespan. Dr. Moinolmolki’s research examines ecological predictors of psychological well-being, physical health, and academic achievement among at-risk populations, particularly individuals from minoritized backgrounds. She views pedagogy and scholarship as deeply interconnected and has mentored numerous student researchers, supporting their presentations at professional conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals. Her work has been recognized with several awards, including Advisor of the Year from the College of Coastal Georgia, the Early Career Research Award from the Southeastern Psychological Association, and the Distinguished Contribution to the Science of Psychology Award from the Connecticut Psychological Association. She welcomes opportunities for collaboration with students and colleagues. | |
