Description: Bias is a human condition. In fact, if you have a brain, you have bias — but that doesn’t make you a bad person. Our brain wants to make sense of the world and the people around us. Formed as mental shortcuts to help us filter through information, make quick judgements, and heighten chances of survival, bias is a crucial aspect of how we navigate through life. But, as we know, dynamics of power and privilege, inaccurate assumptions, and prior knowledge and experiences can activate our bias in a way that perpetuates stereotypes and harms others. The first step is becoming aware of what unconscious bias is and how it affects others. Then, you can learn to address those biases with actionable exercises. In this course, we’ll learn about our brain on bias. From reinforcing neural pathways to rewiring the brain, we’ll share some of the science behind bias and how to mitigate it.INSTRUCTOR BIOCristina Duke is Director of Account Management at PowerToFly.
