Implicit or “hidden bias” refers to the stereotypes that impact our actions, reactions, and decisions – all in an unconscious manner. It impacts everyone in almost every aspect of our lives. It encompasses favorable and unfavorable judgments of others and issues; it surrounds us, and even the most fair-minded are not immune.
This seminar addresses the social science around implicit bias, identifying what it is and providing examples of how it affects our everyday lives on a personal and professional basis. It will also help you understand the circumstances under which you are more likely to be predisposed to implicit bias in your decision making as well as ways to combat such tendencies.
