Harvard Professor of Psychology Mahzarin Banaji

Harvard Professor of Psychology Mahzarin Banaji, along with grad student Oludamini Ogunnaike, are authors on a paper showing that language appears to affect our biases and perceptions of people. For example, bilingual Hispanics who take a test in Spanish are likelier to report a preference for Latinos, but the same test in English leads to a preference for Anglos.
