Social categorization as a book category centers on how people and institutions classify individuals into social groups—and how those classifications shape perception, identity, behavior, and inequality. Drawing on psychology, sociology, anthropology, and cognitive science, these works examine the mental processes behind grouping, in‑group/out‑group dynamics, stereotyping and bias, intersectionality, and labeling and identity formation. They also trace the historical and cultural construction of categories such as race, gender, class, nationality, religion, age, and ability, and analyze how language and power sustain or challenge them. The category spans theory, empirical research, and case studies across settings like education, healthcare, workplaces, media, politics, and technology (including algorithms). Readers can expect discussions of measurement and ethics, as well as practical strategies and interventions aimed at reducing harm and promoting inclusion.
