Implicit biases are an inevitable part of being human. While there is no way to completely eliminate implicit biases, recognizing when and how they occur is the first step in mitigating their impact.

This course will introduce how we use mental shortcuts and how those shortcuts can lead to implicit biases. It will also discuss the types of implicit biases and how at their worst, they can lead to stereotypes, discrimination, and even racism.
