SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism (Michael Kraus)
DESCRIPTION:Oct. 21\, 2024: Michael Kraus (Northwestern)\n\nThe Narrative of Racial Progress\n\nIn this talk\, Michael Kraus will provide a broad overview of our research on the narrative of racial progress—the tendency for Americans to believe in the linear\, automatic\, and even natural march forward to racial equity and justice. The talk will begin with an overall orientation to Kraus's research approach to inequality. From there\, he will describe the theoretical background of this narrative\, highlighting the psychological and structural drivers of the tendency to overestimate racial equality and progress toward achieving it. Along the way he will summarize the state of the evidence in support of racial progress beliefs. Having provided this summary\, he will conclude by discussing some of our emerging efforts to promote more realistic conceptions of racial inequality\, and how narratives of racial progress act as barriers to the actual achievement of racial equity.

When speaker permission is given\, events will be recorded and posted within a few weeks to YouTube.\n\nThe Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\nWhat are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology
