UPCOMING EVENTS

Title:  Implicit Bias – What You Need to Know

Date/Time: Tuesday, April 16, 2024, 10:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. EST.

Description: What’s all the talk about DEI, Implicit Bias and Racism?  What do I need to know? Why is it important to me, my job and the people I interact with?  These questions and more will be discussed and addressed during this one-hour seminar.  Implicit bias refers to unconscious (or conscious) attitudes, reactions, stereotypes and categories that affect behavior and understanding.  In higher education, implicit bias often refers to unconscious racial or socioeconomic bias towards students, which can be as frequent as explicit bias (Boysen, et al 2009).   Instructors can hold assumptions about students’ learning behaviors and their capability for academic success which are tied to students’ identities and/or background, and these assumptions can impede student growth (Staats, et al., 2017).  Instructors can consider a variety of strategies and benefits for revealing and addressing implicit bias, both in themselves and their students. 

 Goals/Objectives

 At the completion of this seminar the learner will:

  1.  Define DEI, Implicit bias and Racism.
  2. Discuss practices (Allyship) to mitigate bias when interacting with individuals in all settings.
  3. Explore “Inquiry” as a strategy to support learning.
