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 a Co-Founder and member of the Psychology Ph.D. track in Applied Social and Cultural Psychology, as well as being a member of the I-O Psychology track. She supervises Ph.D. students in both programs. She is on leave for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Asia is also the current Co-Editor of Social Issues and Policy Review. She has received a number of awards, which recently include an International Visiting Fellowship at the Centre for Protecting Women Online (2025), the Distinguished Service to SPSSI Award (2024), and the SSN Media Fellowship (2023). She is 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.

In 2024, 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.
