Prior to joining the Yale faculty in 2016, Richeson was the MacArthur Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University, where she was also a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research. Before Northwestern, Richeson taught in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College for five years, and was a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Research Institute of Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. Professor Richeson’s research considers psychological phenomena related to cultural diversity. Her work generally investigates the antecedents and consequences of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. Her current research is largely focused on dynamics and consequences of increasing racial, ethnic, and other forms of cultural diversity, most notably the rising racial/ethnic diversity of the nation. She and her students are also interested in how people reason about and respond to different forms of inequality and the implications of such processes for detecting and confronting it injustice. Richeson and her students are also currently examining multiple consequences of managing the threats associated with being exposed to discrimination and intergroup inequality. Professor Richeson’s empirical and theoretical work has been published in numerous scholarly journals and has been featured in popular publications such as The Economist and The New York Times.

    2016 Social Determinants of Health Planning Meeting September 17, 2015 Johns Hopkins School of Nursing

    Engaging Communities, Improving Health 2016 Social Determinants of Health Planning Meeting September 17, 2015 Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Moderated Panel Discussion with Debra Furr-Holden, Debra Hickman and Lester Spence began by viewing a short YouTube video by Matthew Cook entitled Race Baiting 101 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLgIIjnpZyU). Bob then posed three questions for discussion amongst the panel: 1. Is racism and prejudice innate? And if it is just “human nature” to look down on someone else is there really nothing that can be done to address it? • Racism tends to be more cultural, gender, race-based than innate • Racism is a learned behavior that gets spread like a virus • Media messaging often reinforces stereotypes, which often get internalized • Racism is a public health problem • Comment re: the video: Blacks tell their story all the time, but when a white man gets it, feels it, sees it, internalizes it, and is able to call a spade a spade it makes an impact. • Race as a way of marking people – example of the Census, racial categories have changed across time. France doesn’t collect racial data; Brazil collects it in a specific way, Haiti collect it in a way different than the US. 2. Has the nature of racism changed, as some claim, over the past 50 years since the Civil Rights era and if so how? • There 3 fundamental features of racism persistent throughout time: o Violence o Subjugation o Plunder • Nature of racism hasn’t changed, but tools used to enact structural racism have. • The myth of meritocracy • Redlining and the effects of redlining is a topic that has been understudied • Differences between racial communities as well as within each racial community generate different policies; racism surrounding vs.

Godsil & L. Song Richardson** ABSTRACT: Many have embraced evidence from the mind sciences that our behaviors are often influenced by our implicit biases rather than our conscious beliefs. This is one reason why implicit bias has become a staple in trainings for judges, lawyers, police officers, teachers, and health care providers. While understanding that implicit bias is important, social science research demonstrates that implicit bias alone does not fully account for the racial dynamics that undermine student achievement and trigger disproportionately harsh discipline, diminish the efficacy of health care and affect morbidity and mortality rates, trigger harsher prison sentences, result in child removal, and lead to unnecessary uses of force by police against civilians. Following the “behavioral realist” approach to provide the most empirically accurate understanding of human behavior, in this Essay, we introduce “racial anxiety” as an additional lens for understanding racial disparities of all types. In the social psychological literature, racial anxiety refers to the concerns that often arise both before and during interracial interactions. People of color experience racial anxiety when they worry that they will be subject to discriminatory treatment. White people, on the other hand, experience it when they worry that they will be perceived as racist.

Since 2000 the United States has absorbed almost 14 million immigrants bringing the total of all Idocumented and undocumented immigrants currently in the nation to over 40 million (Urban Institute 2011). Immigrants and their children now represent fully one in four Americans. These raw numbers are impressive. Yet they tell only part of the story.
