Raquelle is a second year Master’s student working under the supervision of Dr. Erentzen in the Psychology, Law, and Justice Lab. She graduated from Queen’s University with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Sociology, having done her Honours thesis on cross-cultural differences in communication. Her research interests include wrongful convictions, race and prejudice, and how exercising or waiving the right to silence may affect blame attributions in wrongful conviction cases. Personal interests include health, fitness, crime, and prejudice in policing.
Raquelle’s practicum project will examine how exposure to prejudiced social media comments may affect attitudes towards marginalized groups and the normalization of prejudice.
