Bias & Stereotypes
Implicit bias (also known as "unconscious bias") exists in each person’s world view, affecting our behavior from the classroom to the workplace. We don’t necessarily feel it, but many of those around us do. As a result, implicit bias creates barriers to inclusion, performance, engagement, and, ultimately, innovation. And while we cannot completely rid ourselves of implicit bias, learning how to mitigate its impact is a skill that everyone can learn.
