Research Interests

Dr. Winegar’s current research interests remain in the general area of social interaction and development and include: psychology of power and privilege, emerging adulthood and identity development, and career-span development of college faculty.

My scholarly interests center around cultural-historical mediation of human development. Initially this led to research on social development of preschool-aged children. More recently it includes identity development in early adulthood and social dynamics of power and privilege.
