ICC Lab Director  

Dr. Rachel L. Bailey is an associate professor at Florida State University. Her research program seeks to explicate complex human interactions with and via media and is rooted in biological and evolutionary perspectives including embodied, situated cognition, and motivated cognition. She commonly uses this lens to investigate how media are influential in important social and health contexts, such as health perceptions, food choice, and substance use. Most recently, Dr. Bailey has begun investigating media influences in the context of perceptions of policing, violence, and social and racial justice.
