Balbir Singh, Ph.D.

Welcome! I am a social-cognitive psychologist.

I am an Assistant Professor at Mount Holyoke College.

I am interested in how people perceive faces and how this may impact downstream social processes. Scroll down for more information!

Some questions I ask

in my research


 

How do people perceive faces?


How do people learn cross-race identities?


How can we reduce bias in decision making?

Why do people misrecognize cross-race faces?


They are my friend, do I still see their racial category?


How can we reduce bias in Police Decisions’ to Shoot?

Teaching Philosophy


 

I see my role as a guide. In my classes, students will learn the material, and they will be challenged to critically analyze why.
