Susan Fiske - the researcher who decodes stereotypes

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to meet Susan Fiske in Vermont in her summer house turned pandemic retreat for a portrait sitting. Professor Fiske's research addresses how stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination are encouraged or discouraged by social relationships, such as cooperation, competition, and power.?Her analytical approach, which now often employs neuroscience as well as more traditional social science research methods, has resulted in theoretical contributions and other works that have influenced numerous psychology students and researchers over the past four decades. Fiske’s teachings additionally have gone far beyond the classroom. A 1989 United States Supreme Court landmark decision on sex bias, for example, cited her research on sex-based discrimination. A subject matter that could not be more pressing given our recent history.

The images are illustrating a very fascinating and insightful profile on Prof. Susan Fiske in German "Psychologie Heute" magazine.
