Episode 65. Ideology & Science: Lee Jussim

<p class="MsoNormal">Any intellectual endeavor runs the risk of bias. Today we explore ways in which political ideology interferes with scholarship, particularly in the social sciences, with a focus on social psychology. My guest is Lee Jussim, a distinguished professor of social psychology and the leader of the Social Perception Laboratory at Rutgers University. Lee is a prolific author and studies stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination; political radicalization; and other problems that impede science and society. Lee's books include <em style= "mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Social Perception and Social Reality</em>, which received the American Association of Publishers award for best book in psychology, as well as the edited volumes <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Social Psychology of Morality</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Politics of Social Psychology</em>, and <em style= "mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Research Integrity</em>. Lee is also a founding member of the Heterodox Academy, the Academic Freedom Alliance, and the Society for Open Inquiry in the Behavioral Sciences.</p>
