If there's anything out there where I could be of service in cases involving the low
performance of minorities (i.e., where stereotype threat could shed some light). I do a lot
of pro bono work for schools and rendering service brings me great happiness and I think
gives the schools a good image of social psychology. Any way I could be of similar
service would be attractive.

This is certainly something I'm interested in doing, and I was actually contacted for a
consult a month ago for the first time by an attorney (though nothing ever came of the
conversation). Whether I'd be considered "expert" and experienced enough given my
junior faculty status is a separate issue, of course, but I'd be interested in being added to
such a list.

harassment of women. For my doctorate I doubled-up in social and quantitative
psychology/psychometric theory while studying under Bill Ickes and Ira Bernstein.

My name is Kyle Smith, I'm a social psychologist at Ohio Wesleyan University. I've
been considering looking into working as an expert witness but I wasn't sure what the
necessary qualifications were. I've taught psychology and the law several times so I'm
familiar with the Daubert and Kumho Tire criteria for the admission of scientific
evidence/expert testimony, but I wasn't sure how they worked in practice. For example,
like most social psychologists, I'm current on the basic theory and research in
stereotyping and discrimination, I have also done some research on stereotyping, none of
it published. Would I need to publish in an area to be viewed as an expert? Would
having taught a stereotyping and prejudice class help establish expertise? Are there some
other practical criteria that I should know about?

I would love to get involved in this, but I'm not sure what the courts are looking for in
terms of expertise.
Within the field I'm certainly not someone you would identify as an expert, because I'm
not a major researcher. I'm at a teaching college, so my research (stereotype structure)
and writing (undergrad text on prejudice) are both moving slowly.
On the other hand, I was trained at the Univ. of Michigan in social psych, and my
research areas are (1) stereotypes and prejudice and (2) psych and law. I think the role of
expert witnesses is to teach the judge and jury about their area of expertise, and I am
definitely an expert teacher!
If you think I would qualify as an expert, please add me to your referral list.

otherwise non-pathological persons in everyday life. I have an outline for a workshop that

Sure, please do add me to your list of potential discrimination case expert witnesses. I
recently spoke with lawyers representing a group of plaintiffs in a discrimination case,
but the science really couldn't speak to the arguments the lawyers wanted to make. If a
better fit came along, I'd be happy to contribute.
My background would provide the best fit for lawyers looking for scientific evidence
concerning perceiving discrimination, the consequences of making a discrimination
complaint (e.g., retaliation), and the effects of discrimination on health and well-being.
