Implicit Bias Training
The goals of Implicit Bias Training are to recognize and accept that we have bias, develop a capacity to observe ourselves in action, practice “Constructive Uncertainty” ("Is the person really that way or am I just seeing them that way?"), engage with others and expose yourself to counter stereotypes (pictures on the walls, spending time with individuals not like you), and to establish ways to get feedback ("I didn’t mean to say that that way.", "So, that you can also see yourself in other people’s eyes."). The workshop will include education about unconscious bias basics as well as opportunities to implement bias interruptors in your daily life.
Duration: 60-75 minutes
