Tropp to speak on latest research on intergroup relations
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Linda Tropp
"Emerging Perspectives on Intergroup Contact"
Noon, Mershon Center for International Security Studies, 1501 Neil Ave.
To sign up for this event, please contact Ann Powers at
powers.108 at osu.edu by Monday, March 8, 2010.
Mark Bradley Linda Tropp is associate professor of psychology and
director of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her research concerns how members
of different groups approach and experience contact with each other, and
how group differences in power or status affect views of and
expectations for cross-group relations.
Tropp has been engaged in many efforts to integrate contributions from
researchers and practitioners to improve intergroup relations. She has
collaborated with national organizations to present social science
evidence in Supreme Court cases on racial desegregation, worked on state
initiatives designed to improve interracial relations in schools, and
partnered with non-governmental organizations to evaluate applied
programs designed to reduce racial and ethnic conflict.
Tropp is co-editor of Improving Intergroup Relations: Building on the
Legacy of Thomas F. Pettigrew (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008). She has also
co-edited a volume of the Journal of Social Issues concerning the
integration of research and practice in intergroup relations (2006).
Tropp has received the Allport Intergroup Relations Prize from the
Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues for her research on
intergroup contact, the Erik Erikson Early Career Award for
distinguished research contributions from the International Society of
Political Psychology, and the McKeachie Early Career Teaching Award from
the Society for the Teaching of Psychology.
