Navigating racial bias — An evening with Professor Jennifer Eberhardt
The Stanford Undergraduate Neuroscience Society has the pleasure of welcoming Professor Jennifer Eberhardt to discuss her work in navigating racial bias within different spheres in addition to deriving future steps from this knowledge. Professor Eberhardt has been a pioneer in the field of social psychology. Her work anchors in criminal justice and extends to startling images of racial imagery and discrimination. In addition to being on Oprah (watch here), Dr. Eberhardt's TED Talk here has shown millions of people about racial bias and ways to disrupt it.
