What is the effect of contending with negative stereotypes or other threats to identity on subjective stress, physiological stress, health outcomes, and intellectual performance? How can we intervene to mitigate these harmful effects? ### Structure of equality

What structural factors influence racial and gender diversity, or lack thereof, in hiring? How do institutions influence the public’s understanding of race-related events and perpetuate inequality?

Intersectionality

Do people ignore or pay closer attention to people with multiple stigmatized identities?
