Anita Azeem, Ph.D., serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Carson-Newman University, teaching Social Psychology, Human Development, and Media Psychology courses. Her international teaching experience spans Pakistan, New Zealand, and the United States, reflecting a cross-cultural perspective in her academic work.
Dr. Azeem's research program centers on intergroup relations, with specific focus on media representations of minorities and prejudice development in children. She investigates how media exposure, ideological beliefs, and targeted interventions (such as cross-race friendship picture books and short media clips) shape perceptions of outgroups and reduce bias in young populations, bridging social psychological theory with practical applications.
Her publication record (2014-2024) demonstrates consistent emphasis on prejudice reduction through media-based interventions. Key trends include gender stereotype mitigation in children's media, captioning effects on emotional responses to ambiguous images, and longitudinal analyses of behavioral patterns in child development. Her work reveals strong interdisciplinary connections between social psychology, developmental science, and media studies.
While specific grant funding details are not publicly documented, Dr. Azeem mentors undergraduate students in research projects related to her expertise, contributing to Carson-Newman's academic community through teaching and scholarly inquiry.
