Ariel Mosley serves as an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of California Davis, where she leads the Mosley Lab focused on intergroup perceptions of cultural appropriation, stigma, and intersectionality. Her research examines how social categorization and identity structure judgments of intergroup inequalities through experimental design, mediation analyses, and meta-analyses. Her educational background includes a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology (2020) and Masters of Arts in Psychology (2016) from the University of Kansas, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Philosophy minor (2014) from California State University Sacramento.

Professor Mosley's research investigates three core questions: how group-based biases influence responses to cultural appropriation; how intersectional stereotypes affect diverse individuals' experiences; and how marginalized groups adapt to discrimination. She combines social cognition, intergroup relations, and racial inequality frameworks to evaluate inequality from both target and perceiver perspectives. Her work spans social identity, objectification, dehumanization, structural racism in healthcare/law, and intersectional stigma. Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on cultural appropriation mechanisms, moral evaluations of intergroup interactions, and intersectional approaches to understanding bias.
