Unconscious Bias

With the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the disability rights movement, the gay rights movement, the me-too movement, and others, why do stereotyping and discrimination persist even though most of us are sincerely convinced we are unbiased? This research-based and participatory course, focusing on many equity-related issues, will delve below the surface of our conscious thoughts and attitudes to cast light on what we don’t realize we think and believe — and act on. By making the unconscious conscious, we control our attitudes and behaviors. Otherwise, they control us.
