Research


Human beings are incredibly diverse. Each of us has a racial identity, a gender identity, a sexual orientation, a religious identity, and so on. Yet the empirical literature on stereotyping and discrimination has, for the last several decades, tended to overlook this diversity. A central aim of Chris's research is to make the academic landscape on stereotyping more diverse by elucidating the ways in which stereotypes jointly depend on multiple identity groups to which a person belongs. This research is consequential because a) stereotypes often do ​manifest differently toward those at different intersections of identities, b) these stereotypes in turn influence how we perceive ​one another, and c) social perception is reliably linked with discrimination.

Chris's three most recent peer-reviewed papers on this topic are available below. His full research statement is available here. Finally, a podcast interview that Chris gave on his recent research in this area is available below. (This interview was part of Dr. Andy Luttrell's Opinion Science ​podcast, which is well worth a listen!)
