How Race Alters Perception of People, Places and Things

Ordinarily, we think of stereotyping and prejudice as social responses to people. Indeed, researchers have found that the mere presence of a Black American target, for example, can bring to mind stereotypic associations.  In this talk, Dr. Eberhardt will present a wide variety of research studies that highlight how such racial associations may also influence our perception and interpretation of the physical world around us.
