Corinne Moss-Racusin

Corinne Moss-Racusin is Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College, where she teaches courses ranging from introductory psychology to advanced research methods in social psychology and gender. Her scholarship integrates experimental social psychology with intervention science to understand and reduce gender bias in STEM and beyond.

Education:

• Postdoctoral Associateship, Yale University (Psychology & Center for Scientific Teaching)
• Ph.D. Rutgers University–New Brunswick
• M.S. Rutgers University–New Brunswick
• B.A. New York University

Research Interests:
Prof. Moss-Racusin investigates how gender stereotypes produce inequality, focusing on occupational segregation, STEM participation, and the efficacy of bias-reduction interventions. She employs experimental, longitudinal, and mixed-methods designs to document subtle discrimination and to develop scalable remedies framed as public-health initiatives.

Across more than 60 peer-reviewed publications since 2007, her work reveals persistent gender biases in academic science, classroom interactions, and parenting contexts, while simultaneously testing films, workshops, and educational modules designed to counteract these biases.

Scientific Awards & Recognition:
No specific awards are listed in the provided materials; however, her highly cited 2012 PNAS study on faculty gender bias is regarded as foundational in the field.

Teaching & Mentoring:
At Skidmore she regularly teaches Social Psychology, Psychology of Gender, Diversity & Bias in STEM, and Research Methods, mentoring undergraduates in collaborative empirical projects that often culminate in conference presentations and co-authored publications.

Labs & Teams:
While no formal lab title is given, her ongoing “Gender & Interventions” research stream involves Skidmore undergraduates as research assistants and co-authors, with data collection both on campus and in national online samples.
