Yael Granot is an assistant professor of psychology at Smith College. She received her Ph.D. from New York University in 2016. Her research sits at the intersection of psychology and law, addressing how people evaluate and interact with legal actors. She brings together work on social identity as well as visual and cognitive attention, to address intergroup disparities at all stages of the legal process, from police stops to sentencing decisions. She studies how adolescents interact with school-based police and how these encounters shape justice perceptions. In another line of work, she explores how the manner in which people watch video evidence, as measured by eyetracking, can exaggerate an us-them divide in legal decision-making, and tests how visual interventions may be subtle and effective tools to combat bias. She enjoys baking, crosswords, and hiking with her dog.
