David M. Silverman is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Yale University. His academic work bridges social psychological theory with practical applications for institutional change. Dr. Silverman's research focuses on identity and person-context interactions, specifically examining how schools, workplaces, and other societal institutions shape (in)equity. He is particularly interested in developing and testing new approaches for shifting these institutions to expand equitable access to opportunity. Much of his work emphasizes 'strength-based approaches' that recognize valuable skills and knowledge gained through marginalized identities rather than focusing on deficit narratives. His recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward practical interventions in educational and organizational settings. The research examines how institutions can reject stigmatizing narratives about marginalized people in favor of approaches that recognize their strengths. His work has particular relevance for educators and administrators seeking to implement equity-focused changes. Second most cited paper of 2024 in Personality and Social Psychology Review Dr. Silverman actively engages with practitioners, having published articles in EdWeek and making research accessible through open-access publications. His work on classroom practices supporting students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds demonstrates his commitment to translating research into practical applications.
