Ideally, everyone attending one of our book events in Furman Hall next week (Tuesday, January 15 at 12-1:30 PM and Wednesday, January 16 at 4-5:30 PM) will have read all of Whistling Vivaldi ahead of time. If you don’t finish reading the book in time…
(A) read the first couple chapters and the last couple chapters and/or
(B) watch one of the following Claude Steele lectures:

That should give you enough background information to participate. We’d love to have as many people as possible be part of this important discussion.

I just watched the presentation by Claude Steele and researchers Geoffrey Cohen and Greg Watson. It is an overview of some of the key concepts in the book along with short video clips that illustrate these points. I recommend viewing the video, Stereotype Threat: A Close Encounter, See It, Feel It, Fix It.
