Donna Nagata, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology in the Clinical Science Area at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During World War II, the US government ordered 120,000 Japanese American men, women, and children into isolated incarceration camps because of their shared ethnic heritage with the enemy country of Japan, without regard for their citizenship or the opportunity for individual review. Dr. Nagata's research centers on the multigenerational impacts of this unjust historical trauma in three generations of Japanese Americans. Her work has explored the perspectives of U.S.-born former incarcerees reflecting on their years of imprisonment and their reactions to receiving governmental redress for that injustice more than 40 years after leaving the camps. She has also examined indirect impacts of this trauma among the incarcerees' offspring born after the war. Her current study investigates these legacies among the grandchildren of those who were imprisoned. In addition to numerous articles and chapters, Dr. Nagata has published two books. She is the author of "Legacy of Injustice: Exploring the Cross-Generational Impact of the Japanese American Internment" and lead editor of "Qualitative Strategies for Ethnocultural Research".

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. Much of her research is guided by the questions "What factors lead to discrimination against minoritized ethnic groups?" and "What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?" The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Dr. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards minoritized ethnic groups generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact minoritized ethnic groups' perceptions of discrimination. She has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.
