Facilitated by:  Whitney Gaskins, Ph.D., assistant dean of inclusive excellence and community engagement, College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Cincinnati.

Stereotype threat is a phenomenon in which a person's concern about confirming a negative stereotype can lead them to underperform on a challenging assessment or test. Studies show that the self-awareness of stereotypes about one's group can suppress intelligence, motivation, curiosity and ultimately, achievement.

In this workshop, Dr. Gaskins will explain stereotype threat, the science behind it and provide strategies to combat it in your students, your employees and yourself.
