"I'm driven to explore how deeply rooted biases constrain the space equality can offer. Equality doesn't take anything away – it creates space for everyone."

Dr. Claudia Niedlich works as a Lecturer in the Department of Social, Environmental, and Economic Psychology at RPTU. Her research focuses on how stereotypes about different social groups influence impression formation of job applicants and affect hiring decisions.
