Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do (Issues of Our Time)
Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do (Issues of Our Time) | Claude Steele
Through dramatic personal stories, the author shares the experiments and studies that show that exposing subjects to stereotypes, including those applying to race and gender, impairs the subjects' performance in the area affected by the stereotype.

EVERYONE who is in education should read this, & people who deal with people in healthcare should too. This book was really fascinating, I loved the breakdown of the research & the progression of the authors approach. This book documents the physical and mental work and cost that people who must fight stereotype threat must do. It starts with higher Ed but goes into health, business, k-12 and back to colleges. 5/5 stars, read this!

I relate to the need to disprove disparaging preconceived biases about myself because of the arbitrary circumstances of my birth. Part of my identity is shaped around that. I‘ve refused to drop classes, held in questions (especially about math), and pretended I was comfortable with shit I wasn‘t. Above all, I almost never talk about any of it because I don‘t like to think about it, and I don‘t want to look like I‘m easy to offend.

Graywacke I came searching to see if you had posted recently. This was quite a last post. Hope you‘re well. 2y

I work at a university and I teach students, staff, and faculty about things like the relationship between identity and our implicit biases. The more foundational stuff I can read, the better, especially when it's backed up by solid research!

#Bookhaul! During our relentless schedule yesterday, yes, @BookBabe and I still stopped by a bookstore 😂👏🏻. Nothing will keep me away! Picked up two books from the sociology section. Love sociology, almost earned a degree in it 😊. Human behavior and nature is incredibly fascinating to me. So, what do you think? Good choices? Ever read these two before?

cathysaid I've used several of Turkle's essays in teaching my Freshman comp class. As anticipated, Turkle gets mixed Millennial reviews. I, however, find her work fascinating. 7y
