"Stereotype Threat in the Classroom" was the topic of the third session of the IFS lecture series "What's new in educational research? Multidisciplinary Perspectives on research projects in empirical educational research". Professor Karen Phalet (KU Leuven) presented two studies and explained how stereotype threat works in achievement situations and how interventions can reduce stereotype threat effects. Sabrina König and Dr. Justine Stang-Rabrig then presented results from the DFG-funded project on stereotype threat, which focuses on the influence of stereotypes in vocabulary learning situations. The presentation content as well as implications for research and practice were finally discussed in the plenary session.

Thank you again for the insightful contributions and the lively discussion!
