Robert Livingston

Harvard University

Dr. Robert Livingston is a social psychologist whose research ranges from micro-level investigations of the psychological and physiological processes that underlie unconscious bias—to more macro-level examinations how biases impact organizational diversity, leadership representation, and social justice. His work has been published in top-tier academic journals such as the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Academy of Management Journal, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Psychological Science, and Leadership Quarterly.
In addition to being an academic, Dr. Livingston is also a practitioner who has served as a diversity consultant to scores of Fortune 500 companies, public-sector agencies, and nonprofit organizations. He outlines lessons learned from both research and practice in his forthcoming book The Conversation: How Seeking and Speaking the Truth about Racism Can Radically Transform Individuals and Organizations, to be published by Penguin Random House in February 2021.
