Felicia Pratto (PhD. NYU 1988) is a professor of psychology at the University of Connecticut, U.S.A. Her research focuses on group prejudice and intergroup relations, especially how cultural ideologies and psychological processes interface with political processes. In particular, she has examined the many processes that sustain group-based inequality (e.g., Pratto, 1999), what stabilizes gendered power (e.g., Pratto & Walker, 2004), and how enemy lives become devalued (Pratto, Glasford, & Hegarty, 2006). Such research has often included tests in several countries (e.g., Pratto et al., 2000). She has also taught workshops on ideology, group conflict, social dominance, and power at several international graduate summer schools. She is currently developing a theory of the bases of power in human needs and their relation to the local ecology (Pratto, Lee, Tan, & Pitpitan, in press) and studying sub-state and state violence from an intergroup perspective. She has employed social-cognitive and decision-making experiments, dynamic multi-player games, surveys, and other methods, and her work draws upon research in philosophy, political science, sociology, history, and psychology. She relishes the interdisciplinary and multi-method richness of the work of members of ISPP as well as the different socio-political locations of their work. She has served a term on the Governing Council, as Program Chair for the 2005 Toronto meeting, and on various ISPP awards committees. She hopes to serve ISPP further as it grows in membership inclusion, intellectual maturity, and methodological advancement, especially as it is poised to tackle the world’s most important human problems.
