Zishan Jiwani

I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in Counseling Psychology department with a minor in Data Science & Research Methods. My research focuses on the question: How do our identities and contexts influence our psychological wellbeing and experience with psychological interventions? I am particularly interested in exploring the potential impact of marginalized, minoritized and stigmatized identities such as race, caste and socioeconomic status to identify both strengths and challenges. To explore these questions, I use a wide range of methodological tools including advanced qualitative methods (e.g. machine learning, HLM) and also qualitative methods.
