 [Mahzarin Banaji](http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~banaji/bio.html), 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.

 90-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes of Q&A. Closed captioning will be provided. The seminar will not be recorded.

 ***Open to HMS, HSDM, and hospital-based faculty, students, residents, other trainees, and HMS-based staff only.***
