WEBINAR CONTENT:
One thing everyone has in common is that they are not free of bias. From a young age, we are taught to perceive the world in a way that causes harm to marginally oppressed people. To evolve, we must actively unlearn what we were taught. This is not easy. In fact, it is uncomfortable. In this session participants will learn what implicit bias is, the nuanced ways it permeates our society, and how to respond to it. At the end of the presentation, we will discuss ways to examine our own implicit bias and the tools available to help us prevent future harm.
