"When Telling Scholar-Athletes that they are Just as Good is Good Enough". Maggie shows us how powerful psychology can be. Through her talk we see that small changes in our attitude can have significant impact on other peoples' lives. Stereotypes don't have power until we give it to them.
Maggie Edmunds is a senior at Rice University studying Psychology, Sociology, and Business. She is also the President of Moneythink Rice, an organization that teaches financial literacy and entrepreneurship to low-income high school students. She is currently completing a Psychology Honors Thesis titled "Academic Stereotype Threat against Student-Athletes," which informs this TEDx Talk.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
