Dismantling Implicit Bias Through Reflective Practices and Reflexivity
Dismantling Implicit Bias through Reflective Practices and Reflexivity invites participants to engage in a personal exploration of implicit bias. The asynchronous online training analyzes implicit bias in a five-segment series that defines explicit and implicit bias. The training examines how implicit bias affects social development and human interactions through an analysis of the systemic and ideological mechanisms, including health care systems, that perpetuate bias. The training concludes with practices and strategies that seek to dismantle the effects of implicit bias through recognition, reflection, and reflexivity.
Training Format
The training will be delivered in an online, self-paced format delivered in three parts:
- Part I introduces the social-psychological effects of implicit bias and invites participants to engage with a growth mindset focused on racial developmental processes.
- Part II teaches implicit bias's origins and socio-behavioral mechanisms.
- Part III participants will learn to develop strategies to dismantle implicit bias.
Objectives:
- Understand origins of systemic oppression.
- Analyze mechanisms that construct and perpetuate ideological habits of implicit bias.
- Evaluate and apply strategies to dismantle implicit bias and systems of oppression.
- Understand the importance of continual self-reflection to maintain a growth mindset.
