by Rachel D. Godsil, Linda R. Tropp, Phillip Atiba Goff, John A. Powell, Jessica MacFarlane (February 2017)

This report reviews the research evidence of the role of implicit bias, racial anxiety, and stereotype threat on the academic and disciplinary outcomes of students. This report is an update of Perception Institute’s 2014 report The Science of Equality, Volume 1, which examined these phenomena in education and in healthcare.

The Science of Equality in Education was produced in partnership with the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley and the Center for Policing Equity at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
