Claude Steele and a conversation
with Geoffrey Cohen and Greg Walton

Thursday, May 10, 2012 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m./
Reception from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
485 Lasuen Mall -

The School of Education will open at 4:30 p.m. for the 2012
Policy, Organization, and Leadership Studies (POLS) Project Showcase. POLS MA students will present their year-long independent study projects.

Stereotype threat is the experience of anxiety in a situation where a person has the potential to confirm a negative stereotype about his or her social group. In school, stereotype threat can cause underrepresented students to perform below their potential. It can cause them to focus less on learning and more on the worrisome prospect of performing poorly. The sting of stereotype threat can be felt by anyone – male or female, black or white, Asian or Latino, young or old. But when the threat is chronic, it can contribute to enduring patterns of inequality in school and beyond. What can be done to reverse the effects of stereotype threat? Through a multimedia presentation, social psychologists, Steele, Cohen, and Walton will illuminate the experience of stereotype threat and highlight the powerful ways we can diminish it and close the achievement gap between groups.

Claude M. Steele is the I. James Quillen Dean of the School of Education at Stanford University. Previously, he served as the twenty-first provost of Columbia University, as well as professor of psychology. He is recognized as a leader in the field of social psychology and for his commitment to the systematic application of social science to problems of major societal significance. His book, Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do, examines his theory of stereotype threat, which has been the focus of much of his research throughout his academic career. Steele was educated at Hiram College and at Ohio State University, where he received his PhD in psychology.

Geoffrey Cohen is the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at the School of Education, and Professor in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. The primary aim of Cohen's research is the development of theory-driven, rigorously tested intervention strategies that further our understanding of the processes underpinning social problems and that offer solutions to alleviate them. Cohen earned a BA in psychology at Cornell University and a PhD in psychology from Stanford University.

Greg Walton is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. Walton’s research examines the nature of self and identity, often in the context of academic motivation and achievement. He is especially interested in social factors relevant to motivation, in stereotypes and group differences in school achievement, and in social-psychological interventions to raise achievement and narrow group differences. Walton received his BA in philosophy from Stanford University and his PhD in psychology from Yale University.

About the performers:
Stanford Taiko (Japanese drum) : Drumming has been a part of Japanese military and cultural practices for centuries but was only performed as an ensemble beginning 1951. Stanford Taiko performs Japanese drumming as an ensemble, exemplifying the rapid growth of drumming as a group across Japan in the last 60 years.

Raagapella (South Asian a cappella): Raagapella is Stanford University's all-male South Asian focus a cappella group. With a repertoire of Bollywood pop, traditional cultural music, and original fusion pieces, Raagapella has sung in venues ranging from dormitories to stadiums like the Hollywood Bowl, and has toured across the United States and India.

Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford (Mexican music): The Stanford Mariachi group performs Mariachi, a traditional Mexican genre of music featuring string instruments. Mariachi music is often performed in the Mexican culture at weddings and other formal celebrations.

Stanford Bhangra Team (Indian Dance) : Stanford Bhangra Team is a group of passionate individuals with collective interests varying from policy-making to sailing, all drawn together by the love of bhangra. Bhangra is a traditional dance form originating from Punjab, India that today, with it’s bass-infused beats and high energy movements, has spread worldwide.

Samba Mundial (Rio Style Brazilian Dance and Drum Troupe): Samba Mundial's dancers and musicians perform traditional Brazilian and African-inspired dances and play Brazilian percussion instruments.

Dance Kaiso (Afro Caribbean Dance/Drum/Music group): Dance Kaiso's mission is to preserve, perform, and teach authentic African-derived folkloric music and dance forms of the Caribbean to foster an appreciation for and understanding of the cultural and historical context of these forms; and to engage students in performing arts productions. For over twenty years, Dance Kaiso has taught both Afro-Caribbean and Caribbean jazz fusion choreography to students and professional dancers for concerts, recitals, Carnival celebrations, and plays.

We hope to see you there!
