Eduardo J. Rivera Pichardo (Bayamón, Puerto Rico) is an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology (CSD) and Director of RED(ES): Decolonial & Political Psychology Research Group at The New School for Social Research. His research examines the social-psychological effects of colonialism and coloniality, focusing on intergroup relations, acculturation, and the ideological legitimation of neo-colonial practices and global inequalities. He also studies left- and right-wing populism, social representations of history in the Global South, political-ideological asymmetries between liberalism and left-wing traditions, and broader system-justifying ideological processes. Before joining The New School, he served as an NSF Postdoctoral Associate at Rutgers University and continues to serve as co-PI with colleagues at the University of Puerto Rico on multiple research projects investigating how colonialism shapes social identities, historical knowledge, and ideological beliefs.
