Dolly Chugh studies how and why most of us, however well-intended, are still prone to race and gender bias. She also focuses on “bounded ethicality,” which she describes as the “psychology of good people,” as well as bounded awareness, implicit bias, race and gender, and negotiations. In her 2022 book, A More Just Future, she explores how systems built in the past must be dismantled to create a more equal, just future, building on the work of her previous book, The Person You Mean to Be, which confronts the complexities of sexism, racism, inequality, and injustice.
