Identifying Unconscious Bias in PracticeWednesday, March 11, 1:00–3:00 p.m. | Through presentation, discussion, and interactive dialogue exercises, this workshop offers an overview of unconscious bias, the neural processes that guide our snap judgments. For those who have taken unconscious bias workshops with Multicultural Affairs before, this session will additionally feature exercises that help work through implicit assumptions that may be present in your work on campus. This workshop is appropriate for individuals and cohorts of all levels of experience. We encourage multiple colleagues from the same office to attend together, as this iteration of the workshop will focus on examining practices within your functional area. |
