Larry Heuer
Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Psychology
Larry Heuer, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Psychology, joined the faculty of Barnard in 1990.
Professor Heuer teaches courses such as "Psychology and the Law," "Social Conflict Seminar," and "Statistics." He is affiliated with Barnard's Human Rights Studies Program.
Professor Heuer's research centers on the psychology of procedural justice, and focuses specifically on questions about what leads people to think they’ve been treated fairly and why that matters.
Professor Heuer’s research is currently supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation to study decision maker-decision-recipient disparities in the meaning and importance of procedural justice.
He is a member of the editorial boards for the journal Law and Human Behavior and Psychology, Public Policy, and the Law.
