About the Speaker
Dr. Golub is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Hunter, and is the Chair/Area Head of the Basic and Applied Social Psychology doctoral program at the CUNY Gradate Center. She received her MPH from Columbia University and her PhD in Social Psychology from Harvard. Dr. Golub directs the Hunter AIDS Research Team (HART), and is Principal Investigator of three NIH-funded research studies, including a PrEP messaging project (R01MH095565) and the first PrEP demonstration project in New York City (R01AA022067). Her current research projects include: a) investigating the implementation of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) programs, policies, and messaging; b) integrating interdisciplinary approaches to risk perception and decision-making; and c) investigating the ways in which internal conflict (e.g. between competing desires, between personal values and perceived social norms) impacts risk behavior. Dr. Golub work applies findings across disciplines (including social psychology, neuropsychology, behavioral economics and decision sciences) to inform new approaches to HIV prevention and care. She currently collaborates with community-based organizations throughout NYC to ensure the translation of study findings into programs and policies for vulnerable populations.
