(Mis)Perceptions of American Economic Inequality at the Intersection of Race and Gender

Americans underestimate the extent of racial and gender economic inequality. Economic inequality may manifest differently for groups at the intersection of stigmatized race and gender identities (e.g., women of color), however, little published research examines public perceptions of economic inequality based on intersecting identities. Psychologist Gandalf Nicolas will investigate perceptions of economic inequality for different racial, gender, and intersecting race-gender groups. He will conduct surveys for his study.
