The Science of Microaggressions

Jonathan W. Kanter, Ph.D.

Introduction

Jonathan Kanter, Ph.D., is Director of the Center for the Science of Social Connection (CSSC) of the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. Over the course of his career, Dr. Kanter has collaborated closely with members of Black, Latino, Muslim and other minority communities across both scientific and social activism efforts, including police brutality, voter engagement, racism and discrimination, mental health stigma, and culturally appropriate psychological treatments. The CSSC comprises an active and diverse team of students and colleagues who work to integrate established findings on bias with the science of relationships to produce innovative bias-reduction strategies and teach people how to connect across group differences that typically divide us. Dr. Kanter has published over 100 books and scientific articles on these topics and he is regularly invited to give talks and workshops nationally and internationally, including recent addresses for the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, the University of Washington Medical Center, and the Seattle University Law School. The Center’s work on racial microaggressions, as well on how to connect across political differences, has recently been featured on NPR, in the Seattle Times, and in other news media outlets.
