Biased: The Unseen Prejudice that Shapes What We See, Think, and Do
You don’t have to burn crosses or anything like that to actually have bias.
Featured Highlights
Setup
Unconscious bias is at work in every aspect of our society, with subtle — and sometimes dramatic — daily repercussions, from classrooms to boardrooms to newsrooms. It has an enormous impact on the conduct of criminal justice, from the rapid, sometimes life-and-death decisions police officers have to make to sentencing practices in court. The good news is that we are not hopelessly doomed by our innate prejudices. Deepen your understanding of this very human problem, and learn how all people can play a role in solving it. Stick around after the event for a book signing with Jennifer Eberhardt. Underwritten by Prudential Financial.
