Tessa Charlesworth is currently an Assistant Professor within the of Department of Psychiatry at Tufts Medical School.

She was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University and at the University of Toronto. Dr. Charlesworth received her PhD from Harvard in 2021, under the supervision of Mahzarin Banaji. Her research tackled the question of how and why our attitudes and beliefs about social groups change over time. Using multi-method and multi-level approaches, her research has uncovered insights into how implicit and explicit biases about groups have shifted in the past decade, as well as how language biases (revealed from patterns in millions of words) have transformed over two centuries of text. Dr. Charlesworth’s research had been funded by numerous initiatives including the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Foundations for Human Behavior, and the Inequality in America Initiative.
