Deidre Anglin is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at The City College of New York (CUNY). Her research focuses on the intersection of race, ethnicity, and mental health, particularly examining how social determinants like racial discrimination, neighborhood context, and systemic inequities impact psychosis risk and mental health disparities among marginalized populations.
