Her most recent research has been directed toward the social psychological aspects of immigration. She is the author or co-author of numerous publications and books including “To Be an Immigrant,” “Representations of the Social: Bridging theoretical traditions,” and “The Behavior of Women and Men.”

A past president of three major professional societies, Deaux has been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. Most recently, she received the Kurt Lewin award.

Funded by his daughter, the J.R. Kantor lectureship strives to bring to Denison psychologists whose work reflects the qualities Kantor demonstrated in his career.
