Impact Of Implicit Racial Bias On Students Of African Descent In Predominately White Institutions, Edwin Mathieu
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated how implicit racial bias influences the perceptions of students of African descent in predominately White colleges (PWIs) in the United States (U.S.).
