Ummul-Kiram Kathawalla, PhD
Postdoctoral Associate
Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development
Counseling Psychology & Applied Human Development




Dr. Ummul Kathawalla is a postdoctoral research associate in the Counseling Psychology & Human Development Department at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. Dr. Kathawalla teaches courses for PhD students in counseling psychology. She also conducts research on how discrimination, life stress, and sociocultural contexts contribute to the development and persistence of identity development and wellbeing in minorities. Dr. Kathawalla uses this understanding to develop and examine culturally informed interventions and technology that consider individual differences and experiences to serve marginalized populations. These lines of research build upon each other so that she can move the field of applied ethnic minority psychology forward using rigorous mixed methodology and transparent, open science research practices with a strong commitment to diversity and social justice.
