2007 AERA Brown Lecture: Margaret Beale Spencer
Register for the 2017 AERA Brown Lecture: http://ow.ly/gyxX30doL4c Lessons Learned and Opportunities Ignored Since Brown v. Board of Education: Youth Development and the Myth of a Colorblind Society Margaret Beale Spencer, Board of Overseers Professor of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, explores skin color bias in the United States. Drawing upon a wealth of research, Spencer speaks of color bias as a continuing social issue that deserves careful scrutiny as a health hazard. To maintain the myth of a colorblind society, she maintains, appears counterproductive to the point of being wasteful if it averts the use of strategies needed by youth to cope with racial stereotypes.
