About this Event
Our experiences shape who we are, and multiple factors including race, ethnicity, gender, height, weight, sexual orientation, and birthplace, impact the lens in which we view the world.
During the implicit bias workshop, Dr. Chenelle Jones will introduce attendees to definitions and concepts centered on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. She will then build upon those definitions to provide an overview of implicit and explicit biases.
The ultimate goal of this workshop is to help attendees understand the impact of bias, while simultaneously providing actionable steps for minimizing its influence on personal and professional interactions. Additionally, attendees will be provided with tools to better embrace diversity, address personal biases, and co-create an environment of belonging.
The interactive training will consist of lectures, videos, exercises and scenarios. Attendees will be afforded the opportunity to take the information learned, and apply it to various situations during the training. The curriculum incorporates evidence-based research that explains the benefits of bias training.
