Hi Tipsters,

A colleague asked that I write with the following query. He is
interested as to whether there is any research concerning
prejudice/discrimination/stereotypes related to simply names.  Note that
I am not talking about the research related to popular vs.
unpopular/unusual names but rather the fact that names might imply
nationality or ethnicity. 

Apparently the question came up in a sociology of education class.  The
student wanted to know whether the name on a class list impacted the
teacher's/professor's perception of a student and subsequent course
outcome.  

I don't know of any research specifically in this area.  Anybody out
there familiar with any related research?

Thanks,

Linda
