From the rash of 911 calls targeting people of color to a racist jingle that turned a Christmas tune into a KKK theme song, there is no shortage of examples of how implicit bias impacts how we see the world and resulting actions that have lasting impacts.

Join us for an experiential talk to explore the role of implicit bias in our lives. Our behavior is influenced by unconscious assumptions, beliefs and attitudes we have about others based on their social identities (race, class, gender/gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, etc.). It is a manifestation of how we have been shaped and socialized in the world. It is a major contributor to racism. Is there anything we can do about it? The answers may surprise you.
