Current Graduate Students

Prisca Obierefu, (M.Sc., London Metropolitan University), Ph.D 1

Prisca’s primary research interests lie in examining the effects of racialized experiences of Black Canadians on the assessment of personality psychopathology. More specifically, she is interested in the measurement invariance of psychopathological assessments across samples of “Racialized Blacks” (i.e., those who self-identify as Black and raised in predominantly White societies/cultures – [e.g., Canada, the E.U., U.K., U.S]), and “Non-racialized Blacks” (i.e., those who self-identify as Black who were raised in predominantly Black societies/cultures [e.g., Sub-Saharan African or the Caribbean]). Her main goal is to unpack the effect of race and racism in the measurement of psychopathology.
