Implicit Prejudice

*Dr. Kristin Lane*
*
Thursday October 16th at 5:30pm
FPH West Lecture Hall *


What are the boundaries to conscious thinking and feeling? How do they 
shape social judgment, decision, and behavior?  In this talk, Professor 
Lane will present demonstrations and data showing how mental processes 
can operate without intention or awareness. Such demonstrations and 
research raise questions about what it means to be "nonprejudiced" - 
although a person can genuinely hold no explicit 
(more conscious) animosity based on race or ethnicity, he or she may 
hold implicit (less conscious) biases that are discrepant from these 
self-reported beliefs.  Lane will explore the pervasiveness of such 
biases and the ways that they can influence behavior in unintended and 
unrecognized ways, thus giving rise to group-level disparities.  The 
talk will conclude with a discussion of empirically-based means of 
reducing such biases.


Kristin Lane holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and is Associate Professor of 
Psychology at Bard College.  Dr. Lane has several chapters and articles 
exploring implicit racial bias.   Her current research examines how 
implicit ideas about science contribute to the gender gap in science 
participation.


The Race Matters Lecture Series is sponsored by the Office of Diversity 
& Multicultural Education.  Additional contributors for Dr. Lane's talk 
include the School of Cognitive Science and Hampshire College Human 
Resources.
