Distinguished Social Psychologist and Intergroup Relations Expert
Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton serves as Richard and Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Division of Social Sciences at UC Berkeley, where he has taught since 2002.

His work adopts a process-oriented approach to understanding social behavior, particularly examining how marginalization affects educational and mental health outcomes of stigmatized groups.

His contributions have earned him the UC Berkeley Chancellor's Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence in 2015 and the University-wide Distinguished Teaching Award in 2018.
