About
Sarah Lapean is a PhD student in Psychology and Women & Gender Studies. She is originally from Vermont, and she earned her bachelors in English and psychology at Amherst College in Massachusetts. Her English thesis examined depictions of sexual assault of White and Black female characters in Victorian literature, and her psychology thesis studied how prejudice towards non-normative sexual practices is exhibited by emotions and perceptions of threat. She is interested in studying the emotions and morality that inform sexual prejudice and how this affects the quality of sex education in the United States.
