Emerging research suggests that some of the harms associated with exposure to online racism may be mitigated when White students confront racist posts. University of Virginia Professor of Psychology Noelle Hurd will describe the development and evaluation of a video-based online interactive intervention designed to increase White students’ willingness to confront online anti-Black racism. Implications of study findings and future directions will be discussed.
