Research summary
AI-generated

Veronica Derricks studies how messages, cues, and interventions affect whether people from marginalized groups—especially Black women and Black Americans—feel included and safe in settings like healthcare and workplaces. Much of her work examines 'identity-safety' (feeling one's social identity is valued and respected) and how well-intentioned tactics like cultural targeting or allyship can either help or backfire. She uses experimental methods to test what makes health and organizational communication effective or harmful.
