Mahzarin Banaji, Cabot Professor of Social Ethics in the Department of Psychology, Senior Advisor to the Provost
From a leading experimental social psychologist, a discussion of “implicit bias," and what we can do to outsmart it. Using lab and real-world examples, Mahzarin will show how our barely conscious assumptions affect our decisions about others, especially those unlike ourselves--in age, gender, race, social class, or even body weight--and what that means for the decisions we make as faculty, from whom to call on in class, to how we judge scholarship and teaching. The good news: knowledge gives us power to do better.
