Randi Spiker

Hello!

I am a PhD candidate in Psychology with an emphasis in Applied Public Psychology at Florida International University.  I received my M.S. in Psychology in 2022 from FIU , and my B.S. (Honors) in Psychology from Southeast Missouri State University in 2020.

​

Studying with Dr. Asia Eaton in the Power, Women and Relationships lab at FIU, my research uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine gender- and sexual-based inequities in the United States through the lenses of Feminist theory. My expertise includes the development and perpetuation of gender roles, norms and identification, social power structures, identity-based violence, and their impacts on sexual health, rights and justice, particularly in marginalized and under resourced populations.

 

Beyond research, I am a passionate advocate for human rights and creating positive top-down change in our society. And as a First Gen college student and alumnus of the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program myself, I firmly believe in the power of great mentoring to change lives from the bottom up as well. 

​

Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or opportunities, I look forward to speaking with you!
