Sylvia P. Perry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University, where she directs the Social Cognition and Intergroup Processes (SCIP) Lab. Her research is situated at the intersection of social, developmental, and health psychology. She investigates how racial bias awareness develops and what implications this awareness has for prejudice reduction, intergroup relations, and health disparities. A primary focus of her work is on parental racial socialization, examining how White parents’ conversations about race can shape their children’s racial attitudes and reduce pro-White biases. She also studies how educational environments, such as medical schools, shape medical trainees’ biases and perceptions of stigmatized groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
