Career

Improving race relations

Dr. Eberhardt is an associate professor of social psychology at Stanford University. She studies and teaches about the ways people judge and profile others based on race and inequality in the context of crime.[4][9][10] Some of this research has been criticized for showing evidence of publication bias.[11]

Dr. Eberhardt received a MacArthur Genius Award in 2014 [12] for her work on how stereotyped views of groups affect criminal sentencing. At the time of the grant, she was working with police departments on improving policing.[12] Her work has looked at how perceived racial composition of prisons affects how people view the prisoners and what should happen in the prison [13] and how just thinking about race and black defendants makes people more likely to think of a juvenile defendant as more similar to an adult in culpability.[14] She has spoken on issues of implicit bias both to police departments and to law students.[15][16]

Personal life

Eberhardt is married to Ralph Richard Banks, a law professor at Stanford University; they have three sons named Everett, Ebbie, and Harlan.[17]
