RESEARCH

Our research examines how people’s identities and experiences as group members affect their relations with members of other groups. Much of our work focuses on relations between groups that differ in status on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, and/or national origin, to consider how legacies of inequality and conflict shape group members’ views of each other and the society in which they live, as well as their motivations for social change. We also seek to identify and test strategies that can foster improved relations between groups while also achieving ever-greater levels of social equality and justice.
