The Power of Unconscious Bias and How to Mitigate It (Pop-In Class)

Description

Everyone carries mindbugs—what scientists refer to as “ingrained habits of thought that lead to errors in how we perceive, remember, reason, and make decisions.” These errors in judgment are pervasive in our unconscious mind, which controls the vast majority of our decision-making process. This session will engage participants in exploring individual and cultural biases they may hold through context setting and mind activation. Participants will leave with specific strategies for reducing the impact of unconscious bias in their decision-making.
