Welcome to the SMILE lab! Here, we study how one's social identities and the language used in a setting affect one's experiences in that environment. Our goal is to make important settings, such as educational, healthcare, political, and workplace settings, more welcoming to people with various identities.

The SMILE lab is lead by Dr. Erika J. Rosenberger in the Department of Psychology at Indiana State University. Learn more about the lab by exploring the site or reaching out to Erika using the contact information using the contact info in the left panel!
