Future directions of research on prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination

This concluding chapter discusses five social psychologies of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination as future directions of a sociological social psychology of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination. We present these as politically oriented strands to 1) social change and 2) collective action that are 3) differential, and engage with 4) wider systems of norms, and 5) discourse. We argue that developments in all five of these social psychologies constitute a step closer to ensuring a much closer dialogue between a psychological social psychology and a sociological social psychology of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination. We close the chapter by arguing that future social psychologies of prejudice must seize the opportunity to develop as genuine practical social sciences of the kind Kurt Lewin, Serge Moscovici or Henri Tajfel imagined.
