Unraveling Bias
In her new book Unraveling Bias: How Prejudice Has Shaped Children for Generations and Why It’s Time to Break the Cycle, Dr. Brown will uncover what scientists have learned about how children are impacted by biases because of their race and ethnicity, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and explore how biased policies from the past and present (from segregating schools because of race to banning trans students from playing school sports) can be changed.

Education is a right. We must make sure girls can go to school in every part of the world.

New study! with German Muslim and non-Muslim adolescents: a critical consciousness classroom climate (not color-evasive or a multicultural climate) relates to greater perceived societal Islamophobia and, *importantly*, intended critical ACTION. @MSchwarzenthal @MoffittUrsula https://twitter.com/MSchwarzenthal/status/1483473761366065156
Our paper is out🥳(with @LindaJuang, @MoffittUrsula, & Maja Schachner). We found that a critical consciousness classroom climate is positively associated with adolescents' critical reflection (i.e. perceived societal Islamophobia) and intended action. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jora.12713
