Information about the book:

The acclaimed social psychologist offers an insider’s look at his research and groundbreaking findings on stereotypes and identity. Claude M. Steele, who has been called “one of the few great social psychologists,” offers a vivid first-person account of the research that supports his groundbreaking conclusions on stereotypes and identity. He sheds new light on American social phenomena from racial and gender gaps in test scores to the belief in the superior athletic prowess of black men, and lays out a plan for mitigating these “stereotype threats” and reshaping American identities.

A resource from The Chronicle of Higher Education:


Better Student Engagement During Covid-19

Join us for the next session in The Chronicle’s Faculty Resilience virtual forum series on Friday, June 5, as hosts Ian Wilhelm and Beckie Supiano are joined by Josh Eyler, director of faculty development and director of the Thinkforward Quality Enhancement Plan at the University of Mississippi to discuss practical techniques that can be used to keep students engaged and active in the classroom during a chaotic time.

The conversation will include tips, big and small, that faculty can offer each other for how to draw out students and ways to support struggling ones. This interactive session will aim to reinforce the idea that good teaching is good teaching, no matter the medium, no matter the time.
