            Tropp to speak on latest research on intergroup relations

                                   Linda Tropp
                  "Emerging Perspectives on Intergroup Contact"

        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.


               For more information, please see the event web page.
