This seminar will increase your awareness of what implicit bias is as it relates to gender, and how and when gender-based implicit bias is 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.
