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 particular area of expertise encompasses the development and perpetuation of social attitudes, gender roles, norms and identification, social power structures, identity-based violence, and their impacts on sexual health, rights and justice, in the digital or cyber sphere.

 

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!
