Grace Sullivan's research interests focus on individual differences in responses to social experiences including social support, social stress, and social rejection. Understanding how personal identities, traits, and past experiences interact with current social environments and situations is crucial to more individual-focused approaches to mental health.

Grace received her PhD and MA at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and her BS from Buena Vista University. She encourages students, faculty, and staff at Wesleyan to stop by her office or send her an email at any time to chat about neuroscience, psychology, exchange book recommendations, or share recipes/pet photos/music suggestions.
