The Neuroscience of Implicit Bias: Part 1

The Neuroscience of Implicit Bias: Part 1

Registration is required. Sign up below to receive your Zoom invitation. 

Advancements in neuroscience show that our implicit biases impact our decision making and problem-solving skills. The way people look, speak, or even the sound of their names can affect how our brains react when meeting people. Neuroscience can help us better understand and change our preconceived notions of others to foster a more equitable society.

Join us for a two-part workshop with nationally renowned speaker Kimberly Papillon. In the sessions she will help us understand the neuroscience of implicit bias. She will provide concrete strategies and tools you can implement to thwart the unconscious biases in our decision making and interactions with others.

NOTE: Part 1 is a pre-requisite to Part 2. We strongly encourage you to attend both sessions. Sign up for part 2 here
