Courtney Bonam is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Before becoming a professor, she completed an interdisciplinary teaching fellowship in Stanford University’s African American Studies Department, followed by a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Bonam’s work focuses on the way racial stereotypes extend beyond personal attributes to physical space (e.g., Black areas are impoverished, White areas are wealthy). For example, people more often assume lower quality amenities when a neighborhood is Black (vs. White), which leads them to be less willing to visit the neighborhood, monetarily devalue a house there, and provide less environmental protection for the surrounding area. These biases have made and continue to make physical spaces, in addition to people, targets of racial stereotyping and discrimination. Dr. Bonam will (1) detail both quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence for these ties between race and physical space, (2) discuss implications for persistent racial disparities in wealth, health, and environmental pollution exposure, and (3) provide insights on strategies for change via social justice education and civil rights law.
