ISSI Fall 2009 Colloquia Series:
Blind Spot: A Self-Critique
Wednesday, Nov. 18
4:00-5:30 pm
CSSC Conference Room, 2420 Bowditch Street
Paul Sniderman, Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor in Public Policy & senior fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University
The subject of the talk is the canonical concept of prejudice. This conception continues to lead to important discoveries. The thesis of the talk, though, is that it has also had the unintended consequence of foreshortening of understanding of the feelings of white Americans toward black Americans. The validity of this thesis will be illustrated in personal terms-by a presentation of a blind spot in my own research on prejudice and politics.
