A Study of the Social, Ethical, and Policy Implications of Neuropsychological Research on Implicit Bias

一个博士后研究员将研究神经心理学研究对内隐偏见的社会，伦理和政策影响。他将使用一个多站点的定性方法来实证跟踪和阐明的材料后果和社会影响的内隐偏见研究。该项目旨在了解如何在实验室中产生和组织神经科学研究内隐偏见，并了解如何在神经心理学研究内隐偏见的概念化和操作化的社会动态，特别强调在神经生物学水平上操作种族和种族主义的承诺和挑战。这些决定将被研究人员用来阐明当前和未来的干预措施和政策机会，神经心理学研究内隐偏见。该项目的结果将有助于更好地评估在社会中使用神经科学研究所提出的伦理问题，这将有助于制定和实施关于不平等和歧视的机构和社会政策。该项目致力于提高少数民族研究人员的代表性不足的数量集中在伦理，法律的，和科学和technology.Technical摘要这个项目是第一个实证科学项目之一，以检查种族是如何使用和调用在神经科学研究。它将大大有助于完善的科学，技术和社会（STS）基因组学和种族的研究，通过提供洞察这些新的认知和行为的神经理解的方式影响种族的经验和做法。这项研究将解决越来越多地使用生物社会模型的研究，重点是社会动态的方式进行测量和利用内隐偏见的研究。这项研究将认真对待大脑的物质性和社会现实;在这样做的过程中，它将描述如何通过神经研究来定义，操作和转换（或重新想象）“社会”。此外，该项目将有助于阐明神经科学研究的伦理挑战，并阐明跨学科STS奖学金的优势和局限性，重点是大脑和社会性之间的交叉点。

General Audience Summary A post-doctoral research fellow will examine the social, ethical, and policy implications of neuropsychological research on implicit bias. He will use a multi-sited qualitative methodology to empirically trace and elucidate the material consequences and social implications of implicit bias research. This project seeks to understand how neuroscience research on implicit bias is produced and organized in the lab, and to understand how social dynamics are conceptualized and operationalized in neuropsychological research on implicit bias, with specific emphasis on the promises and challenges of operationalizing race and racism at the neurobiological level. These determinations will then be used by the research fellow to elucidate the current and future interventions and policy opportunities for neuropsychological research on implicit bias. The results from this project will help better appraise ethical issues raised by the use of neuroscience research in society, which will aid in development and implementation of institutional and social policies on inequality and discrimination. The project serves enhance the number of underrepresented minority researchers focused on ethical, legal, and social impacts of science and technology.Technical Summary This project is one of the first empirical science projects to examine how race is used and invoked in neuroscience research. It will contribute substantially to the well established Science, Technology, and Society (STS) research on genomics and race by providing insight into the ways these new neuro-understandings of cognition and behavior impact experiences with and practices of race. The study will address the growing use of bio-social models of research by focusing on the way social dynamics are measured and utilized in implicit bias research. The study will take the materiality and social realities of the brain seriously; in so doing, it will describe how the "social" is defined, operationalized, and transformed (or re-imagined) through neuro-research. In addition, the project will help illuminate the ethical challenges for neuroscience research and elucidate the advantages and limits of interdisciplinary STS scholarship that is focused on the intersections between the brain and sociality.
