Research Interests

Dr. Catherine Wall's work exists at the intersection of social and health psychology, where she engages in two distinct, but related, lines of work. In the first, she examines systems of health through the lens of trans health. In her second line of work, she explores medical misinformation with an eye towards interventions intended to reduce individual susceptibility to misinformation. Some of recent work explores transgender experiences in the current sociopolitical context, examines historical research about transgender health, and explores social influence as a potential pathway towards reducing susceptibility to medical misinformation.
