Matt Diemer holds dual professorial appointments at the University of Michigan:
- Professor of Education in the Marsal Family School of Education
- Professor of Psychology in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts
- Faculty Associate at the Research Center for Group Dynamics, Institute for Social Research
His research centers on critical consciousness—defined as critical analysis of societal inequalities, motivation for social change, and political action—among marginalized youth. He investigates how young people overcome racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic constraints in educational, occupational, and civic institutions, with recent contributions to Critical Quantitative (CritQuant) methodology that integrates critical theory with quantitative research.
Diemer's publications reveal strong interdisciplinary trends across psychology, education, and social justice. Recent work examines gender identity screening, ethnic studies curricula, youth political activism, and measurement tools for critical consciousness, consistently focusing on structural inequality and empowerment strategies for marginalized populations.
Through his Faculty Associate role at the Research Center for Group Dynamics, he contributes to collaborative studies on social processes and group behavior within the Institute for Social Research, though specific lab structures or team compositions aren't detailed in available materials.
