💡I’m recruiting a Social Psychology PhD student at Rutgers for Fall 2027 to study how to reduce prejudice and discrimination. More info about my lab, the Diversity Science Lab, can be found at: www.calvinklai.com Please share this post widely and with students who might be a great fit!
Hidden biases within the mind create a gap between what people value (e.g., racial equality) and what people do (e.g., racial discrimination). Our research seeks to close this gap by understanding how these biases work, figuring out how to reduce them, and developing interventions for addressing their consequences.
