Thanks to Dr. Naïma Moustaïd-Moussa and the entire IOHI team for this effort to connect researchers at institutions across the Texas Tech University System to facilitate high-impact transdisciplinary research that can benefit the health of humans, animals, and our broader ecosystems.

Dr. Kraus highlights several critical points about cross-class interactions:
(1) Segregation creates distinct cultural patterns
(2) Rapid class perception from brief interactions
(3) Perception leads to stereotyping in ways that can damage opportunities & reinforce social boundaries

Learn more about how social class shapes every domain of our lives and, as Dr. Kraus put it, "how subtle class biases start at zero acquaintance, and can derail people from opportunities" in the most recent episode of the Stress Puzzle.
