Additional Research Interests: Code-switching, Identity, Discrimination/Prejudice/Bias

Dr. Durkee is a psychologist who examines the dynamics of code-switching, cultural invalidations, and racial discrimination to determine how these experiences influence important psychosocial outcomes (such as mental health, identity development, & academic achievement). His program of research examines how people of color navigate racial contexts, modify their racial behavior to fit into certain contexts, and internalize messages about their cultural authenticity from individuals inside and outside of their racial group.
