Level-2

eMODULE:  Managing Bias
AUDIENCE: All Faculty, Staff
LEVEL: 1
DURATION: 30 Minutes

 

Unconscious: ŭn•kŏn•shəs, adj., not available to or observable by the conscious mind.

Bias: bīəs, noun, prejudice in favor of or against a person, group or thing.

Ask anyone if they’re prejudiced and their response will be “no” – they’re forward thinkers without bias. But we all have biases: some based on fear of the unknown, some on traumatizing experiences, others are culturally ingrained, yet others are so subtle we don’t know they exist.

This online course offers strategies to help you uncover and dislodge unconscious bias in yourself, understand the differences between impact and intent,  and provides eye-opening studies and statistics about the prevalence of unconscious bias and its damaging effects.
