PROED 400 - Implicit Bias Training

The class will introduce students to implicit/unconscious bias in our society. The class will include pre-class taking of the Harvard Implicit Bias Test (RACE-IAT). The course will also include small group discussions and exercises on implicit bias and stereotypes, along with the examination of case studies regarding implicit bias. In addition, we will explore other principles that can work in conjunction with implicit biases, such as explicit biases and structural forces. Finally, we will review actions individuals, organizations and businesses can begin to take to address implicit bias.
