How We See Others - Conversation with Prof. Lasana Harris

How do we perceive and categorize others? What happens when we fail to see people as fully human? In this episode of Monday Science, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham welcomes Professor Lasana Harris, a social neuroscientist and expert in person perception, dehumanization, and decision-making.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Prof. Harris introduces his research and explores how we process social information, the role of stereotypes in shaping thoughts and emotions, and the surprising ways we dehumanize others—while sometimes attributing human-like qualities to objects and AI. He also discusses the psychological mechanisms behind biases in the legal system and what they reveal about human decision-making.

🎧 How do stereotypes shape our interactions? Can AI truly understand human emotions? Join the conversation—emailinfo@mondaysciencepodcast.com or follow along on social media.
