Understanding Implicit Bias and Exploring Bias Mitigation Strategies Workshop

As a part of our broader campus efforts for Advancing Racial Equity, the Office of Diversity and Student Affairs would like to invite you to a campus-wide workshop on understanding how bias shows up in our lives and what we can do about it. In this highly interactive workshop, we will provide an introduction to implicit bias, explore research evidence on the impact of bias across disciplines, and engage with practical strategies we can use to mitigate the negative effects of bias in our everyday lives. You will leave this workshop with a set of goals designed to encourage you to practice bias mitigation strategies.

This virtual workshop will be two hours in length. We encourage students, faculty, and staff to attend. In order to most effectively engage in this virtual workshop, we recommend joining by computer and having your camera on if at all possible.  CART live captioning will be provided for all workshops. If there is anything else we can provide to make the session accessible to you, contact Jess Joslin (joslin@uic.edu). Continue to check back to this page as additional dates are added throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you!
