Do psychologists consider themselves to be scientists, and why is that a complicated question to answer? How do we develop our sense of identity during childhood? What is white racial identity, and why is it important to be studied? Ursula Moffitt, a postdoc at Northwestern University, will tackle all of these questions and much more during this episode about the psychology behind racial identity development.
