Races, Faces, and the Decisions We Make

In an era where diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of social discourse, understanding the cognitive underpinnings of racial and gender bias is crucial. This talk delves into the complex interplay between racial and gender stereotypes and their impact on facial categorization and psychology of law type decision-making. By examining cognitive mechanisms and cultural influences, we will discuss how racial and gender stereotypes intersect to influence facial recognition and categorization. Further, how these biases also manifest in psychology of law type decisions such as mock jury decision-making and victim blaming.
