Lanier Frush Holt studies how media—including news, entertainment, and virtual reality—shapes racial attitudes, group identity, and perceptions of credibility and bias. Much of the work examines how language, framing, and representation of race in media content influence audience reactions, stereotypes, and intergroup relations. This research draws on media psychology and communication studies to understand how race-related messaging affects real-world attitudes toward issues like policing, protest movements, and public health crises.
Publication output has been variable but roughly steady over the last decade, with occasional peak years (2017-2018, 2020) and a modest average of under two publications per year in the most recent five-year period.
