Her research interests are on stigma and prejudice as social processes and the role these processes play in the production of poor health, health disparities, and in some cases improved health (as is the case with smoking-related stigmatization). She is the editor for a special issue of Social Science and Medicine on Stigma, Discrimination, Prejudice and Health. Stuber’s current research concerns the social construction of mental illnesses and mental health policy. She is working on two major projects investigating the causes and interventions to address mental illness related stigmatization.
