Implicit Bias, Structural Racialization, and Equity
A Free, Pre-Recorded Webinar
Increased interest in the topic of implicit bias provides an opportunity to open and deepen important conversations in our organizations and communities about equity, belonging, and ultimately justice. Most work on implicit bias focuses on increasing awareness of individuals in service of changing how they view and treat others. But to lead to meaningful change, an exploration of implicit bias must be situated as part of a much larger conversation about how current inequities in our institutions came to be, how they are held in place, and what our role as leaders is in perpetuating inequities despite our good intentions.
Our success in creating organizations and communities in which everyone has access to the opportunities they need to thrive depends on our willingness to confront the history and impacts of structural racism, learn how implicit bias operates, and take action to interrupt inequitable practices at the interpersonal, institutional and structural level.
Who Should Attend
Anyone interested in learning more about more about implicit bias and who has a willingness to confront the history and impacts of structural racism.
Interested In More In-Depth Learning?
The Water We Swim In: Implicit Bias and Structural Racism is a 3-hour online workshop that explores how advances in neuroscience are helping us to understand bias – how it is formed, how it “sticks” in our consciousness, it’s role in individual, institutional and structural oppression, and what we can do about it. We will also explore approaches and strategies that, when used with intention, attention, and over time, have promising results to counter existing biases.
Attend this live session with facilitators and fellow participants to learn and practice new skills both in session and in your own context.
