Saturday Workshop: Breaking the Bias Habit

During this interactive workshop, we will explore implicit or unconscious biases and the underlying assumptions we make about groups of people. We will treat the application of such biases as a “habit,” with a focus on race, ethnicity, and gender and explore strategies we can use to break the bias habit.

Dr. Gillian-Daniel will present research that demonstrates the impact of implicit bias and discuss effective strategies to create more equitable and inclusive workplaces.
