She advocates preventing 'unintended consequences' by examining the formulation of research to guard against socially unjust effects. She has exposed the unsound science and social damage of genetic determinism institutionalized as racism and sexism. She has been a leader in psychology activist groups seeking constructive public policies, nuclear disarmament, and peace-building--all necessary to nurture life and science. She is a socially responsible scientist." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
