About this Event

Understanding Unconscious Bias and Systems of Oppression

Have you ever want to gain a strong understanding of Unconscious Bias and how bias contributes to the formation of Systems of Oppression? This workshop introduces learners to the concept of unconscious bias and encourages learners to explore and reflect upon how personal values, biases and assumptions can impact the quality of daily interactions. We all bring unconscious biases into the our everyday interactions. These deeply subconscious attitudes span race, gender, appearance, age, wealth and much more. They influence everything from the neighborhood you live in, to the friends you make. These biases are reflexively triggered without our knowledge, they are virtually unnoticeable. Our unconscious biases are hidden. Although we are unaware of them they influence our beliefs about and behavior toward others. Through a series of training, exercises, anddiscussions activities participants we will examine our personal cultural competence and, increasing our ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with all people.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This workshop Is appropriate for learners that want a better understanding of how unconscious bias and systems of oppression work.
