IMPLICIT BIAS
STEP 1: TAKE AN IMPLICIT BIAS TEST
Harvard’s Race Implicit Bias Test
Before we can dive deeper into the topic of “implicit bias”, we need to see where each of us stand currently. Click on the left picture link to go to Harvard’s implicit bias testing portal. Scroll down and take the “Race IAT” test. Keep a copy of your result.
STEP 2: WHAT IS IMPLICIT BIAS?
Implicit bias (also known as “implicit social cognition”) are the underlying attitudes, mental associations, beliefs, and feelings we carry unconsciously which affect our behaviors, preferences, decisions, trust, judgment, perspectives, etc. of people and the world around us. It is our tendency to favor a certain type of norm, status quo, construct , in-group, or so on based on reinforcement from our personal collective experience with media, family, social circles, memories, teachings, and so on.
TEDx Talks – “We all have implicit bias. So what can we do about it?”

STEP 3: REFLECTION
Without a genuine impact on our hearts, minds, and souls, we cannot hope to tackle the issues surrounding race and equity in our world. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by taking time to reflect on what we learned in this section. This will help us to gain a better, personal understanding of the materials as well as deeply ingrain our new knowledge and insights. Click the link on the left to access the reflection questions. Be sure to be true to yourself as you dive into these reflections.
