Implicit Bias Workshop

Workshop Series Description:

Session 1 will explore the dynamics of implicit bias, including brain research, decision-making, and de-biasing. We will also discuss stereotypes, media influences, and cultural norms and examine the impact of implicit bias in many settings.

Session 2 will focus on challenges related to communication, decision-making, and profiling. We will explore personal and systemic ways to reduce the impact of bias on workplaces.

Participants will:

• Understand dynamics of implicit bias;
• Increase confidence in discussing implicit bias;
• Identify how bias impacts decisions/interactions;
• Develop skills to de-bias perceptions and interactions.

Attending both sessions is not mandatory, but is encouraged.
