Asia Eaton is a feminist social psychologist and Professor of Psychology at Florida International University (FIU), where she directs the Power, Women, and Relationships (PWR) Lab. She is the Co-Founder and Director of the Psychology Ph.D. track in Applied Social and Cultural Psychology, as well as being a core faculty member in the Developmental Psychology and I-O Psychology tracks. She supervises Ph.D. students in all programs.

Asia is the current Co-Editor of Social Issues and Policy Review, and is on the editorial boards of Personality and Social Psychology Review, Journal of Business and Psychology, and Social and Personality Psychology Compass. She has received a number of national awards, including the Distinguished Service to SPSSI Award (2024), the SSN Media Fellowship (2023), SPW’s Strickland-Daniel Mentoring Award (2022) and more. She is also an APA Fellow in Divisions 9 (SPSSI) and 35 (SPW). Asia’s work has been funded by NSF, Meta, the Australian Research Council, and others.

Since 2016 Asia has served as the Head of Research for Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI), which is working to understand and end the emerging epidemic of image-based sexual abuse in the U.S.

Asia received a Ph.D. and M.A.  in Psychology (Social), with a minor in Statistics, from the University of Chicago. She completed her undergraduate work at Carnegie Mellon University, receiving a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Philosophy. She also earned a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from FIU.

Most recently, Asia edited the book “Navigating Your PhD: Challenges and Strategies for Thriving”. While most books on the grad school experience discuss academic milestones, our chapters address issues related to the work-home-life interface, being intended to facilitate a sense of belonging and identification, as well as provide evidence-based recommendations and resources. Chapters cover topics such as mental health in grad school, financial wellness and challenges, and learning academic norms as a working class student. Written by a diversity of current and recent Ph.D. students, every chapter takes into account how the social locations of the author(s) affected their experience.
