Dr. Andrea Negrete is a community psychologist with a focus on adolescent development. She studies the role of family, community, and school contexts in youths’ ethnic-racial identity development, understanding of structural inequality, and engagement in social actions to disrupt injustice, with a particular focus on the experiences of immigrant youth. Most recently, through the support of a Fulbright-Garcia Robles Fellowship, her work has begun to explore the well-being and educational experiences of Mexican-origin youth who return with their families to Mexico after living in the United States.

Dr. Negrete received her B.A. in Psychology and her M.Ed. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Washington, Seattle. She received her PhD in Community Psychology at the University of Virginia.
