You're Racist (But Then Again, We All Are): Understanding Subconscious Bias
Not currently scheduled
Overview
One thing that we all share as humans is the fact that we have biases. Very often, these exist in us despite our conscious effort to be fair and objective. This workshop will explore how these biases, which we often don’t even know we have, can influence our behavior in important ways. In addition to learning what they are, you’ll also acquire valuable tools in controlling for implicit bias when working with others.
Learning Outcomes
- Define implicit, explicit, and hidden biases
- Understand how implicit bias can influence behavior
- Use assessment tools to understand their own implicit biases
- Skillfully deploy strategies for controlling implicit bias
