Prof. Zimbler is a Social Psychologist who teaches a number of courses related to systematic inequality and/or close relationships. As a researcher, Dr. Zimbler’s interests focused on romantic relationships, relational power, and deception. His doctoral work explored how perceptions of fairness concerning heterosexual newlyweds’ division of household labor mediated marital satisfaction. Since then he has taught at a number of universities including Tufts, UMass, and Hampshire College, before finding a permanent home at Boston College. In his practice he is dedicated to enacting a growth mindset approach to student success, and promoting an inclusive and intersectional approach to learning.
