Emma Alamgir is an undergraduate student at Georgia State University majoring in psychology. She plans to graduate in May 2025. Emma graduated from Pope High School in 2021 and began working in Dr. Jennie Burnet’s lab in August of that same year through the Undergraduate Assistantship Program, for the Sociocultural Anthropology Lab for Equity and Racial Justice (SCALER). She has participated in GSU’s Undergraduate Research Conference with fellow team members, Mia Heyward, Varsha Sudharsan, and alumni Amanee Alhkalid and Jessica Cloud. Their presentation (Strength in Numbers: How Black Communities Resist Racialized Violence in Fulton County) won 2nd place overall as well as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion awards. She also participated in the Humanities Inclusivity Summer Immersion Program, working in Dr. Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey’s lab to create another award-winning presentation, Pulse of the People: The Political Rap Database. Emma also spent a semester abroad in Paris during spring of 2024 as part of a French language program, where she pushed herself academically, linguistically, and socially by taking psychology courses entirely in French. She is currently working on her senior thesis (Sexuality in the Age of the Internet: How Pornography has Affected Young Women’s Sexual Development) under the advisement of Dr. Burnet, and is a current NSF GRFP applicant. Although she is still in the process of applying for several psychology PhD programs at the moment, she plans on using the various interdisciplinary research skills gained from the SCALER lab as well as her other research pursuits to continue working as a researcher in her graduate studies. Her dream job is to be a sex and relationships therapist.
