Employer Breakfast Speaker Series 2019
The Science of Unconscious Bias Part A

In this session you will be introduced to unconscious bias and how it impacts your everyday life. Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one's tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing. Our unconscious bias is often incompatible with one's conscious values.
