Unstereotype Alliance: The problem is not seeing the problem

The Unstereotype Alliance is producing a wealth of research to shine light on “the problem” through expanded evidence on the forms and impact of stereotypes and discrimination, along with solutions to address these issues. The panelists will share research findings that highlight intersecting forms of discrimination; consumer perceptions regarding advertising’s social responsibility and shaping social norms; and assumptions regarding gender norms from countries around the world. The panelists will also reflect on their experiences with stereotypes and discrimination in the workplace, in creative work, and in society; and creative solutions that are making a difference.
