As the Director of the Stereotyping, Prejudice, and Facial Expression Lab at Indiana University, Professor Kurt Hugenberg and his team do research on how perceivers' stereotypes, prejudices, and prejudice-related motives influence how we categorize, perceive, and understand others. Much of their work focuses on how perceptions of others' faces and bodies interface with beliefs about social groups. As one example, such beliefs may manifest in "Racial Size Bias," which may, in turn, result in more police use-of-force against Black men. Other work conducted by the lab includes research on obesity stigma, on prisoner dehumanization, and on racial biases in pain perception. Join Professor Hugenberg in a conversation that sheds light on how what people believe shapes what they see.

Human Error: The Role of Speciesism in the Conjoined Crises of Climate Change and Resurgent Fascism
Mistaken ideas about what it is to be human are built into justifications for the subordination and exploitation of nonhuman animals. The ideology of human supremacy contains the seeds of ableism, racism, sexism, and ecocide. Moreover, the myth of human supremacy prevents us from seeing ourselves and other humans as the particular kind of primates we are. This skews our analyses of problems and makes it more difficult for us to solve them. Only by stepping down from our self-constructed pedestals and looking around will be able to see what needs to be done and do it. Luckily, this can be a joyful process of reunion with the rest of the world, bringing us energy and hope along with more accurate analyses of the work to be done.
