Gregory M. Walton, PhD is Associate Professor of Psychology and The Michael Forman University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. His research focuses on how basic social-psychological processes contribute to major social problems, such as how negative stereotypes and stigma change the social environment of school settings for minority group members in ways that can undermine these students’ feelings of belonging and achievement. Dr. Walton develops novel psychological interventions to increase student motivation, improve academic achievement, and reduce achievement gaps between minority and majority groups. He is a recipient of awards including the Cialdini Prize and the Wegner Theoretical Innovation Prize from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.



Alia J. Crum, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and Primary Investigator of the Stanford Mind and Body Lab.

Dr. Crum is a recipient of awards including the New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health and the Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science. She has worked as a clinical psychologist for the VA health care system and has developed interventions focused on mindset change for organizations including LinkedIn, UBS, Stanford Health Care, and the U.S. Navy.
