This decline, however, was largely unaccompanied by a reduction in racial inequality. The seeming disconnect between racial attitudes and racial outcomes has troubled contemporary social scientists who had long assumed that individual-level racism accounted for racial disparities. Popular explanations for this disconnect often suggest that individual-level racism has merely "gone underground," having become less popular to voice, but just as prevalent--and just as responsible for racial inequality. Dr. Goff's research investigates the possibility that contextual explanations play an under-explored role in producing racial inequality. Rather than focusing on racial attitudes that are internal to an individual, his research examines ways in which environmental factors can produce racially disparate outcomes. Through this research he hope to expand the scope of what comes to mind when one thinks of the causes and consequences of inequality. Though race is central to his research agenda, he is also interested in identity-based inequality across multiple domains including gender, sexuality, class, and ableness. His empirical research can be roughly divided into four areas: (1) Research on Dominant Group Identity (e.g. Whites and men) (2) Research on Mental Representations of Stigmatized Groups (e.g. Non-Whites and women) (3) Research on Intersectional Identities (e.g. examining race and gender simultaneously) (4) Research on Policing and Criminal Justice (e.g. all of the above) Dr. Goff's work has been recognized by several institutions including the Mellon Foundation; the Russell Sage Foundation, where he was a resident scholar during the 2008-2009 academic year; and the William T. Grant Foundation which selected him for their scholars program from 2010-2015. His work on equity issues in policing has led to formation of the Center for Policing Equity. Along with Chief Tracie L. Keesee, he is the co-founder and President. Media Contact Media Contacts are available to answer media inquiries about their research or other areas of expertise.
