Recent Series: The Cognitive Science of Racial Bias 

Co-Sponsored by the Dept. of Psychology, Social Area. 

the cogsci of racial bias promo flyer

"I know that many members of CCBS feel passionately about issues ranging to overt racism to subtle but damaging microaggressions, both in academia and society at large.  We have so much progress to make, but as cognitive scientists, we might feel that these issues fall outside the scope of our professional expertise.  The upcoming talk series is indeed designed to fall within our areas of expertise, as we highlight research that tends more toward experimental cognitive scientific methods.  Exposure to these related research pursuits will help break down silos and perhaps even stimulate ideas for interdisciplinary work."  

- Dr. Andrew Leber, Director, CCBS
