Abstract

Society is saturated with stereotypes about people of color. This is especially true when it comes to stereotypes regarding intellectual ability. These stereotypes have serious implications for racially-marginalized students, staff, and faculty. Awareness of these negative images can lead to a psychological phenomenon that can influence work performance, pass rates of professional licensure exams and standardized tests, academic performance, and more. In this workshop, participants will learn what is stereotype threat and what can we do about it.
