We’re Biased. So Now What?: Personalizing and Mitigating Unconscious Bias
Wednesday, January 17, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST
Many of us are committed to DEI and accept the extensive evidence from scholarly studies in psychology and neuroscience demonstrating that we all have unconscious biases that affect our interactions with others. In this interactive workshop, participants will:
- Gain knowledge of societal biases and self-awareness of their unconscious biases
- Develop strategies to advocate for inclusion in light of unconscious bias
In preparation for this workshop, please plan to take the Implicit Association Test (IAT) from Project Implicit. When you access the hyperlink, there will be multiple IAT’s to choose from. For the purpose of this workshop, please choose the IAT for both skin tone and weight. Additionally, you are welcome to take any other tests that you are interested in. Each IAT should take approximately 10 minutes to complete, so please give yourself approximately 20 minutes to complete this required pre-work for the workshop.
