What Gets in the Way of Creating
an Equitable and Inclusive Environment
Tuesday, September 21, 2021
3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.
FRNY G140
– No Receptions will be held this semester due to the pandemic –
Implicit bias is a cognitive shortcut that all people can use when making judgments. This seminar will increase your awareness of implicit bias, and how and when
implicit biases are manifested, particularly in academic STEM environments. Research on the impacts on the target of bias will be presented, as well as strategies to become aware of our biases and reduce our use of them.
