IMPLICIT BIAS: Awareness, practices, and implications


How can someone's race, sex, age, and other characteristics influence the way we see and treat them even when we are genuinely trying to be unbiased? What concrete steps can we take to help prevent this from happening?


To help answer these questions, this workshop introduces the concept of implicit bias. Our brains naturally perceive, categorize, and draw inferences about the world, including other people. We will explore some harmful side effects of this through a mix of short presentations, lively activities, and discussions.


We will also examine when this kind of bias is most likely to occur. And we will talk about what practical steps we can all take to try to reduce or eliminate it, as well as what has been shown not to work.

Join us Thursday, September 10, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for this implicit bias training
