Racism and Health I: Pathways and Scientific Evidence (2013, background): “Another study documented that a dehumanizing bias that associates blacks with apes persists, and that this dehumanization matters (Goff, Eberhardt, Williams, & Jackson, 2008).”
“Ain’t I a Woman?”: Towards an Intersectional Approach to Person Perception and Group-based Harms (2008, background): “It should not be surprising, then, that researchers have noted that Black men are better stimuli than Black women for priming Black stereotypes, and the category Black more generally (Eberhardt et al. 2003; Goff et al. 2008; Goff et al. 2008).”
Exploring the roots of dehumanization: The role of animal—human similarity in promoting immigrant humanization (2010, background): “Future research can also determine whether our humanization approach applies to other dehumanized outgroups, such as blacks (Goff et al., 2008), and”
Sociotechnical Harms: Scoping a Taxonomy for Harm Reduction (2022, background): “images include forms of human-animal confusion in image tagging systems [199], which reflect dehumanizing gendered and racialized discourses used to socially exclude and control Black, Indigenous, and other people of color [84].”

Revisiting the Jezebel Stereotype (2018, methodology): “As previously discussed, Black people have been likened to animals throughout history (e.g., Goff et al., 2008; Jahoda, 1999), and the subtle association between Black people and animals persists today (Goff et al., 2008).”
A Framework for the Computational Linguistic Analysis of Dehumanization (2020, background): “One such component is likening members of the target group to non-human entities, such as machines or animals (Haslam, 2006; Goff et al., 2008; Kteily et al., 2015).”
