Perception Institute operates as a consortium of researchers and practitioners who seek to identify effective interventions to address ways in which social identity differences result inequity. We rely heavily on social science, social psychology to understand the mechanisms underlying inequity resulting from human behavior and institutional outcomes. We assess how interventions from a wide array of contexts - indigenous practices, mediation, restorative justice frameworks, cognitive psychology can be employed to change instituational dynamics. We also engage in original research to understand how societal narratives about race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and other social identities can affect how these social identities are constructed.
