Curriculum Vitae

Assistant Professor

Dr. Atari-Khan uses a cross-cultural and positive psychology framework to critically consider how commonly referenced models and measures of mental health fall short in capturing meaning of wellbeing and healing for racially and ethnically diverse communities in the United States. She is particularly interested in amplifying the experiences of Arab and Middle Eastern/North African (MENA) immigrant and refugee communities and has focused on topics of well-being/quality of life, resilience, and ethnic/racial identity development.
