Unearthing Implicit Bias
Diversity Workshop For Faculty and Staff
Join us for this critical conversation as we explore unconscious bias and the various ways it affects our personal and professional lives. In this interactive presentation, you will learn what unconscious bias is, how it shows up at home, in the workplace and particularly in our higher education environment, and ways to confront our own biases as well as illuminating and effectively confronting those of others. You will leave the session with a deeper understanding of unconscious bias and increased awareness of basic strategies that can be used to reduce its impact on judgment and decision-making processes.
This workshop will be co-facilitated by Dr. Shawn Bediako, Associate Professor of Psychology and Dr. Marie desJardins, Associate Dean in the College of Engineering and Information Technology.
