Dear RSF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please join us in the library Wednesday, November 20, at 11:00 for Larisa Heiphetz\u2019 seminar \u201cRedemption in the Context of the Criminal Justice System.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heiphetz received her BA in Psychology from Pennsylvania\nState University in 2008 and her PhD in Psychology from Harvard University in\n2013. She has been an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Columbia\nUniversity since 2016. As a post-doctoral fellow, she taught in the\npsychology department at Boston University. She was granted the American\nPsychological Association Dissertation Award in 2015, and the Association for\nPsychological Science awarded her its Rising Star in 2017. While at\nHarvard, Heiphetz worked with incarcerated students at the Suffolk County House\nof Correction. Her students\u2019 requests to have psychological research better\nreflect their lived experiences has influenced her current research on how\nadults and children perceive prisoners and the prison system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During her year at the Foundation, Heiphetz is writing\nseveral articles. Using experimental and interview data, she is investigating\nthe extent to which adults and children view incarceration as the results of\ntheir choices and behaviors, or societal factors such as socioeconomic\ninequality. She has been testing interventions to explore whether\nproviding alternative frameworks might improve perceptions of those people who\nhave come into contact with the criminal justice system and reduce the stigma\nagainst them. Her initial paper uses studies conducted with 6-8 year-olds\nand adults to demonstrate how essentialism colors perceptions of prisoners.\n Heiphetz\u2019 second paper explores the consequences of those essentialist\nviews of prisoners, and her final paper reviews the role parental incarceration\nhas on the perceptions of the children of those prisoners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear RSF: Please join us in the library Wednesday, November 20, at 11:00 for Larisa Heiphetz\u2019 seminar \u201cRedemption in the Context of the Criminal Justice System.\u201d Heiphetz received her BA in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University in 2008 and her PhD in Psychology from Harvard University in 2013.
