Brenda Major received her Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1998. She
is currently a Distinguished Professor in the Department of
Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California,
Santa Barbara. Her scholarship focuses on the social psychology of
stigma and inequality. Her research interests include the
psychological and physiological impact of prejudice and
discrimination, how cultural ideologies shape entitlement and
reactions to
social inequality, the social and psychological impact of
increasing ethnic diversity, and the psychology of resilience.
John F. (Jack) Dovidio, who received his Ph.D. from the University
of Delaware in 1977, is currently the Carl Iver Hovland Professor
of Psychology and Public Health, as well as Dean of Academic
Affairs of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, at Yale University.
His research interests are in stereotyping, prejudice, and
discrimination; social power and nonverbal communication; and
altruism and helping. His scholarship focuses on understanding the
dynamics of intergroup relations
and ways to reduce intergroup bias and conflict.
Bruce Link is Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University. His
interests are centered on topics in psychiatric and social
epidemiology as they bear on policy issues. He has written on the
connection between socioeconomic status and health, homelessness,
violence, stigma, and discrimination. With Jo Phelan, he has
advanced the theory of social conditions as fundamental causes of
disease. Currently he is conducting research on the life course
origins of health inequalities
by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, the consequences of
social stigma for the life chances of people who are subject to
stigma, and on evaluating intervention efforts aimed at reducing
mental illness stigma in
children attending middle school.
"This volume collects important work on the impact of stigma on all
aspects of health. Beginning with definitions of stigma and its
relation to the social determinants of health, the authors focus on
the varying forms of stigma and their relevance to the landscape of
power, economics, and social status in particular groups and
societies...Comprehensive, and replete with chapter references,
this handbook represents a timely, multidisciplinary contribution
to the
field of stigma and health." --CHOICE
