Please check the conference web site at www.aals.org for conference followup-we will post everything we get from the conference on it. If you are willing to have your one page homework assignment posted (a number of you described interesting teaching techniques and we’d like to make them available to the whole conference), please email Wendy Shapiro at wshapiro@aals.org and simply say “You may post my homework.”

Stereotype Threat. I have listed below the web site for Claude Steele (his posted CV contains a bibliography of his stereotype threat articles). I will get a bibliography from Geoffrey Cohen and post it on the web siteIn the meantime, here are two references:

Steele, C.M. and Aronson, J. Stereotype Threat and the Intellectual Test Performance of African Americans, J. of Personality and Social Psychology, 69, 797-811 (1995), reprinted in C. Jencks and M. Phillips, the Black-White Test Score Gap, Brookings Institution Press, 1998.

Cohen, G.L., Steele, C.M. & Ross, L.D., The Mentor’s Dilemma: Providing Critical Feedback across the Racial Divide, Pesonality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 25(1), 1302-1318. (I think 1999).
