Intersectional Psychology and Everyday Racism

Lisa Heldke, Director of the Nobel Conference and Professor of Philosophy at Gustavus interviews Priscilla Lui, Associate Professor of Psychology, Southern Methodist University.

In her discussion about everyday racism or microaggressions, Lui mentions the original paper that discussed microaggressions.

That paper is “Racial microaggressions in everyday life: Implications for clinical practice,” by Daryl Wing Sue. Here’s the full info: Sue, D. W., Capodilupo, C. M., Torino, G. C., Bucceri, J. M., Holder, A. M. B., Nadal, K. L., & Esquilin, M. (2007). Racial microaggressions in everyday life: Implications for clinical practice. American Psychologist, 62(4), 271–286. https://doi.org/10.1037/0003-066X.62.4.271

ScienceWhys is the podcast of the Nobel Conference. Listen to Dr. Lui’s lecture and participation in panel discussion at the 2022 Nobel Conference, Mental Health (In)Equity and Young People, at Gustavus Adolphus College September 28 & 29, 2022.

Priscilla Lui studies racial and ethnic disparities in physical and mental health, investigating them as a function of ecological, cultural, and lived experiences. One strand of her research studies the incidence of alcohol use in communities (such as immigrants) doing the work of adapting to a different culture. This research informs her work to develop effective interventions for minority communities to strengthen mental health and develop effective strategies for alcohol use. She is currently developing an experimental method that uses virtual reality to identify adverse health outcomes caused by racism and discrimination.

The Nobel Conference: Science and Ethics, in Dialogue

Since 1965, the Nobel Conference has been bringing leading researchers and thinkers to Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota, to explore revolutionary, transformative and pressing scientific issues and the ethical questions that arise alongside them.

As the only event in the United States authorized by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden to use this name, it is our privilege to host a space in which we can talk about big scientific questions, and the big ethical issues to which they inevitably give rise. The world needs more people who think critically about the crucial issues of our time, and who ask questions in ways that open up the conversation.
