Chana Etengoff (she/her) is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Adelphi University, where she teaches graduate courses in diversity, social justice, and intersectional psychology.
She is also integrating these theories into foundational courses, such as general psychology, developmental psychology, and research methods. Her mixed-methods research focuses on intersectional identity development, particularly LGBTQ+ and religious identities. Etengoff’s first edited book, The LGBTQ+ Muslim Experience (Routledge, 2023), presents a compilation of quantitative and qualitative research exploring LGBTQ+ Muslims’ diverse experiences across the globe.
Etengoff’s extensive mixed-methods research with LGBTQ+ individuals from religious backgrounds provided the foundation for her recent collaborative development of the Sexual Minority and Religious Identity Integration measure (SMRII, 2024), which can be used in clinical settings to help assess the interplay between religious and sexual identities. Her work was honored by Eastern Michigan University’s Equality Knowledge Project Award, and has appeared in high impact academic journals, as well as in her Psychology Today blog Transforming Perspectives.
