| Description | Everyone holds implicit biases. That doesn’t make us “bad people,” it just means that we have work to do. This interactive training will teach you how to understand your own implicit biases in order to begin to undo them. We’ll start by learning the brain science behind implicit bias and how the part of our brain that is hardwired to assess danger has evolved to hold us back. Through polls, brief thought experiments, and writing exercises, we’ll reflect on how implicit bias can show up in our actions and they can have on ourselves and those around us. Then we’ll roll our sleeves up and get to work, practicing 8 concrete ways to mitigate implicit bias. You’ll leave more confident in your ability to successfully see and undo implicit bias in your own life. This event is sponsored by UW Bothell School of Business Graduate Programs and training is provided by Hollaback, an organization with a mission to end harassment in all its forms by transforming the culture that perpetuates hate and harassment. |
