Professor Erin Beeghly (Utah) - "Stereotyping and Prejudice: The Problem of Statistical Stereotyping"
Erin Beeghly is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of ethics, epistemology, feminist philosophy, and moral psychology. Her current book project, What's Wrong With Stereotyping? (under contract with OUP), examines the conditions under which judging people by group membership is wrong. She and Alex Madva are co-editors of the first philosophical introduction to implicit bias: An Introduction to Implicit Bias: Knowledge, Justice, and the Social Mind (Routledge 2020). Beeghly also writes and teaches about topics within legal theory, including discrimination law.
Beeghly's research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, the National Humanities Center, the American Association for University Women, and the Townsend Center for the Humanities at Berkeley.
