The Global Diversity Lab was honored to host Professor Mina Cikara (Department of Psychology, Harvard University) earlier this week for an engaging presentation and discussion of her paper “Hate crime towards minoritized groups increases as they increase in sized-based rank,” which was published in Nature Human Behaviour last year. In this paper, co-authored with Vasiliki Fouka (Stanford University) and Marco Tabellini (Harvard Business School), Professor Cikara shows that minority groups’ rank in terms of their size impacts discriminatory behavior and attitudes towards them above and beyond group size/proportion, growth rate and many other alternative explanations.
