"In this presentation, Dr. Lindsay Palmer will discuss foundational psychological theories related to the social cognition and behavior of people that can have downstream consequences for diversity (e.g., stereotyping). Following a discussion to deepen our understanding of our own species-specific behavior, she will guide participants through theories that help us broaden our perspectives to understand the social positions of other people. While theories of intersectionality have become a mainstay of popular discourse, Lindsay will introduce advanced topics, such as intersectional invisibility, that have received relatively less attention. Finally, she will discuss strategies to develop interventions and initiatives related to diversity and important caveats to consider when implementing these initiatives. This presentation will be useful for members who would like to consider DEI within their own organizations and are interested in creating their own initiatives."
