Dear colleagues,
The last SEPG in Social Psychology of this academic year will host Professor Nao Hagiwara from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her talk is entitled: A critical role social psychologists can (and should) play in addressing racial healthcare disparities.
The seminar will be given in-person at the ICS-ULisboa and will take place on June 28th at 2:30pm, Sala 3.
Title: A critical role social psychologists can (and should) play in addressing racial healthcare disparities
Abstract: Despite an increasing effort to reduce implicit bias among healthcare professionals in recent years, there is limited empirical evidence to support the effectiveness of implicit bias training that are currently available. In this presentation, Dr. Hagiwara will first review major challenges with mitigating providers' implicit bias. She will then discuss the importance of both drawing on social psychology research of intergroup bias and using the clinical and translational science framework to address those challenges.
If you feel that this seminar would be of interest to other colleagues, I would appreciate it if you could forward it to potentially interested parties.
We hope you all can join us!
Yours sincerely,
Filipa Madeira
