She has published more than 95 journal articles and book chapters.
Szymanski is a fellow of the American Psychological Association (Divs. 17, 35 and 44) and has received several awards for her contributions to the profession, including the Div. 35 Laura Brown Award, Div. 17’s Outstanding Major Contribution Award in The Counseling Psychologist for “Sexual Objectification of Women,” APA Committee on Women in Psychology Emerging Leader Award and University of Tennessee Chancellor’s Honors Jefferson Award.

Diana E. Betz, PhD, is an assistant professor of psychology at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore, MD. She was trained in social psychology at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on multiple facets of stereotyping and prejudice, particularly as they relate to women and girls. This includes work on female role models in math and science (with funding from the National Science Foundation); beliefs about the prevalence of sexual assault (with funding from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues); the effects of thin, curvy, and athletic media ideals on body image; and consequences of disparagement humor, including sexist humor. Drawing on her experience as a reviewer and consulting editor for PWQ, she is excited to work with this team of scholars to help curate and disseminate high-quality feminist psychological research.
Rachael D. Robnett, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Her interdisciplinary program of research draws from developmental science, social psychology, educational psychology, and gender studies. Robnett’s primary line of research focuses on identifying, understanding, and rectifying ethnic and gender inequities in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Her work in this area has been funded by the American Psychological Association and the National Science Foundation. Robnett’s secondary line of research focuses on the causes and implications of heteronormative romantic relationship traditions such as marital surname changes. Her work in this area has received coverage in popular media outlets such as the BBC, Live Science, and the Washington Post. Across both lines of research, Robnett utilizes a variety of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches. As an associate editor for Psychology of Women Quarterly, Robnett is enthusiastic about working alongside the editorial board, reviewers, and authors to publish impactful, socially relevant scholarship that will reach a range of academic and non-academic audiences.
Annette S. Kluck, PhD, is the Dean of the Graduate School and a professor of counseling and Leadership Education at the University of Mississippi. She previously worked at Auburn University (2006-2019), serving as a faculty member in the APA-accredited Counseling Psychology program, directing/co-directing the program from 2011-2019 and leading efforts to advance gender equity as the assistant provost for Women’s Initiatives within the Office of Inclusion and Diversity (2017-2019). Her research focuses on women’s issues including body image, disordered eating and sexual behavior and concerns. She studies how sociocultural risk factors may place some women at greater risk for developing problems in these areas, with an emphasis on family-based messages about size and shape, internalization of societal messages that place women’s value in their ability to be perfect and pleasing (often sexually) to others and perceived expectations for attractiveness and behavior. Kluck also examines how intersecting identities inform these experiences in women. As an associate editor, she enjoys reviewing innovative research that contributes to feminist scholarship and scientific understanding of women’s experiences.
