'''William H. Tucker''' is a professor of [[psychology]] at [[Rutgers University]] and the author of several books critical of [[race science]].
Tucker received his bachelor's degree from [[Bates College]] in [[1967]], and his master's and doctorate from [[Princeton University]]. He joined the faculty at [[Rutgers University]] in [[1970]] and has been there since.
Tucker was a Psychometric Fellow for three years at Princeton, a position subsidized by [[Educational Testing Service]]. The majority of Tucker's scholarship has been about [[psychometrics]], not in it. He currently sits on the advisory board of the [[Institute for the Study of Academic Racism]]. <ref name="isar">[http://web.archive.org/web/20060207194059/http://www.ferris.edu/isar/avc.htm ISAR Advisor Council], Retrieved Frebruary 7, 2006</ref>
He has written critical commentaries on several [[hereditarian]] psychologists known for their controversial work on [[race and intelligence]]. He has received awards for his research on [[Cyril Burt]] and the [[Pioneer Fund]]. <ref name="awards">University of Illinois Press: "Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award, 1995. Winner of the Ralph J. Bunche Award, American Political Science Association, 1995. Outstanding Book from the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights in North America."</ref>
According to his website, "My research interests concern the use—or more properly the misuse—of social science to support oppressive social policies, especially in the area of race. I seek to explore how scientists in general, and psychologists in particular, have become involved with such issues and what effect their participation has produced."
