About Sophia Evett

I have served on the faculty at Salem State University since Fall 1997. I am a social psychologist and specialize in the psychology of prejudice, stereotyping and intergroup relations. My current research, with Management Professor Anne-Marie Hakstian, focuses on retail discrimination and consumer racial profiling and jury decision making in retail discrimination cases.
