DR. MIAO QIAN

I am currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Inequality in America Initiative at Harvard University. I received my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology and Education (2019) from the University of Toronto, Ontario. 

I am interested in the development of implicit and explicit racial biases in young children. Specifically, I investigate two research topics: (1) what is the development of implicit and explicit racial biases, and (2) how to reduce children’s racial biases. To answer these questions, I developed a child-friendly Implicit Racial Bias Test to measure children's implicit racial bias and a training program, referred to as individuation training, to reduce children’s racial bias.
