Dr. Fles received her Ph.D. in social psychology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN in August of 2019. Her research very broadly focuses on implicit biases. Her dissertation explored the effects of priming White identity on outgroup dehumanization, the results of which suggest that attitudes consistent with White Supremacy may be implicit as well as explicit. Other research projects she has spearheaded involve the role of implicit bias in the interpretation of legal policies such as the right to free speech. Dr. Fles is passionate about teaching and is very excited about her new role as the chair of psychology at the University of Bridgeport, where she focuses on student success and developing new ways to convey complicated concepts in statistics and research methods.
