Pre-work: The Hidden Biases of Good People and Implicit Bias Mitigation 

 

 

 

Implicit Association Test (IAT)

Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures attitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report. The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an implicit attitude that you did not know about.

PLEASE TAKE THE IMPLICIT ASSOCIATIONS TEST (IAT) 1-2 DAYS BEFORE THE WEBINAR
