About

Chana Etengoff, Ph.D., is an intersectional developmental psychologist and an assistant professor of psychology at Adelphi University’s Derner School of Psychology. She also leads Adelphi's Intersectional Development (ID) Lab. Etengoff focuses on exploring how cultural, gender, and sexual minority groups agentively mediate sociorelational conflicts and disparities—creating opportunities for stress-related growth. Her work is informed by a theoretical stance that human development is a co-constructive process embedded in relational, sociopolitical, and historical contexts. In addition to authoring more than 30 published scholarly works, Etengoff has served as Co-Editor of the Journal of Homosexuality’s Special Issue on the LGBTQ+ Muslim Experience and is an active member of the LGBTQ+ Family: An Interdisciplinary Journal's Editorial Board. Committed to connecting social justice research to practice, she founded Self & Other Training and Consulting to provide DEIB and social justice training and support within corporate, clinical and academic settings.
