Undergraduate Academic Affairs and the College of Education present a lecture with Claude Steele, author of "Whistling Vivaldi." In this book, Steele recounts vivid, relatable examples of how pervasive American stereotypes can influence behavior and performance. Steele is Director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences at Stanford University. His research interests are how people cope with self-image threats; how group stereotypes can influence intellectual performance; and addictive behaviors.
