Program Overview:

This 2-hour course is an introduction to the concept of unconscious bias. It combines fundamental psychological approaches like stereotyping threat, unintentional blindness, and selective attention along with more traditional diversity approaches that emphasize micro-advantages and micro-inequities.

Program Objectives:

During this course participants will:

Examine their own background and identities, so that they can interact more authentically with colleagues, clients and the community.
Explore how the brain functions, so that they can recognize unconscious bias as a natural function of the human mind.
Expose patterns of unconscious bias so that they can navigate their impact on their decision-making processes.
Be introduced to strategies and tools that can create transformational and intra-personal change.
