Laura K. Hildebrand studies social psychology topics related to prejudice, bias, and gender, with particular focus on how people confront and respond to discrimination and sexism. Her work examines the social costs and benefits of confronting biased behavior, the role of trust in these interactions, and how language and diversity efforts can inadvertently reinforce inequality. This research draws on experimental social psychology methods to understand intergroup relations and interventions aimed at reducing bias.
