Rachel Hutchins

I am a PhD student in Communication Science working under Dr. Lyn Van Swol. My research interests consist of polarization at the interpersonal level and the role of social identity in both intergroup and interpersonal interactions. Before returning to academics in 2019, I spent several years working in nonprofits and prehospital medicine.
